Re: abstraction on two libraries
Yeah, it's not worth the effort. IF you were going to attempt it, you'd want to define a protocol (or multimethods) for the common features that both libraries provide, then provide different implementations of those protocols using each library. But what's the point, especially if they both wrap the same underlying system? You've just written a lot of complicated code that doesn't provide much value. -S On Wednesday, February 13, 2013 2:30:40 PM UTC-5, Zack Maril wrote: To do that from scratch would probably be pretty hard and not worth the effort.

abstraction on two libraries
Hi. Suppose you want to make an abstraction on top of two similar but different libraries (hermes and titanium), so that I could switch between using either of them(or both of them) at compiletime or runtime, how would you do something like that?
