👉 Antemask is a term used in computer science and software engineering to describe a method of building a computer system without explicitly specifying the hardware or software architecture. It involves using a programming language that has built-in support for defining and implementing interfaces, which can be used to create software systems. Antemasks are often used in conjunction with other design patterns such as Factory Methods, which allows developers to define how objects should interact with each other and how they should behave when instantiated.
