You can't say that using raw loops (vs stl algorithms) is "actively
excluding" any C++ developer.
I would agree to say that simplifying code by using STL makes the code more
readable for developers used to the STL. And that raw loops and nested
controls can be less readable.
But how come a raw loop can be excluding? It should be understandable by
any C++ developer and, I would dare to say, by any C-style programming
language developer.
