"Generalization of abstraction" sounds a lot like "a maze of twisted passages, all alike"

That's exactly what I don't like about some languages, if everything is a function, then it's all a big ball of mud. The only thing you can do with a function is call it.

I'd rather have classes of capabilities. Some things are callable, others are iterable, some are printable. But if it's truely about abstraction generalization, that sounds like a mess.
