That isn't surprising. The code you constantly post always uses the most
advanced features, uses every toy that is available, and the most
elaborate algorithms.

 I'm not sure in what bubble you lived the past decades. The listed
abstraction examples date back to the 1960's. They were realized in
many programming languages,

Perhaps not so much in the ones people used. Assembly? Fortran? Cobol? There have always been academic languages.
  including long existing ones as well as

many contemporary ones. I suggest to try to understand the concepts
if you want to reach the next experience level. :-)

I sometimes use (and implement) such features in scripting code which has the support to use them effortlessly.
I've rarely needed them for systems programming.
My comments were in connection with their clunky and abstruse implementations in C++, and BM's habit of posting C++ code full of gratuitous uses of such features.
