A good way to evaluate one axis of quality of an abstraction is to inline every function call, and see how much duplicate work you can either deduplicate or turn into a loop (rather than several independent function calls).

@rfleury makes me wonder why we don't have a tool (do we?) to visualize inlining like that (without actually doing it).

@rfleury

makes me wonder why we don’t have a tool (do we?) to visualize inlining like that (without actually doing it). maybe stop inlining at certain library call boundaries. not only to evaluate quality, but also to understand what the hell a function is doing.
