Sorry for the nitpick, but "hyperabstraction"?

left-pad isn't even slightly abstract.

It's not.

The hyperabstraction is in how even tiny functions like this, isPositive, isArray, etc. are being abstracted and turned into individual modules.

  • Again, maybe I'm nitpicking, but turning something into modules doesn't seem like abstraction... you could call it encapsulation, or modularisation, or maybe extraction.

    But abstraction? I don't see how that word is connected to what's happening. Maybe you can explain it.
