ellitism in coding is why so much people now use Java, C# and dozen of other 
languages rather than C/C++. people who code are not all and always 
ultra-geek. and with your O(n^2) happyness I'm pretty sure that coding in 
ECMAScript can well be faster than C++ in this case. just for fun, I'll 
check how many loops are needed to run slower in C++ than in my scripting 
engine.
when you provide API or coding technics which prevent normal people (not 
"incapable" people) from doing wrong, you will just drain more people 
finding that it's easy to do the right thing with your tool/framework...
