Book excerpt: In this work, the authors recommend replacing the traditional approach of closed, black-box abstraction with what they call open implementation. This allows application programmers to customize and extend the implementations of substrates below their systems. When programmers are given principled ways to tailor the substrate, applications can be simpler, easier to maintain, more powerful, and more efficient.
