What's the point of abstraction layers if you're riddling all the code with

if (AbstractionLayer.SomeType instanceof ImplemantationLayer.SomeTypeIml1) {
// do stuff
} else if (AbstractionLayer.SomeType instanceof ImplemantationLayer.SomeTypeIml2) {
// do stuff
} else if (AbstractionLayer.SomeType instanceof ImplemantationLayer.SomeTypeIml3) {
// do stuff
} else if (AbstractionLayer.SomeType instanceof ImplemantationLayer.SomeTypeIml4) {
// do stuff
}

???

Seriously.. Guys. Am I missing some point here?

    Nah, that's a massive code smell. Usually I see it when people start abstracting their code ok, but then aren't sure how to achieve something later on while keeping the same abstraction - so they bodge it (or just don't know better), and you end up with this mess.

    @Brolls yeah, interfaces are there. And yet the implementstion ir queried via instanceof

    @7Raiden I think he meant virtual classes in c++. Sort of interfaces in java world [? Correct me if I'm wrong]

    @netikras Well yeah, I was kidding 😂! I was imagining the reaction when one actually told this guy that it should use virtual 😂
