It used to be easier with OOP. I'm still not quite sure how to pick the best possible abstractions in an FP context...
for me, abstraction is anything that i want to be an abstraction. i just write code in the close-to-natural language and it becomes Haskell program when appropriate syntax applied.
Well, in my experience, figuring out just the right abstractions to use is the difference between a huge pile of code that really doesn't quite work right, and a much smaller, simpler, more capable program. Unfortunately, figuring out the best way to divide up a given problem usually requires a lot of trial and error. (I was just starting to get good at it in OOP... now I'm back at the bottom. Heh!)
