Well, I don't think Java has really done this yet. But it's a good idea. Someone should try to re-describe the standard set of Python built-in types (list, tuple, file, string, dict, etc.) as a set of ABCs (not sure they have to be all that abstract, either), using inheritance to describe abilities. If it can't be done, that would be a strike against ABC, I'd think :-).
