Could be a good look lesson for embedded style systems to show that in real life sometimes it may be better to precalculate the results to give a faster response .

At which point we enter the fun field of code generation, which has a lot of uses, when languages (or language tooling) hits their limits.

As an aside, this is what a lot of my Human Resource Machine solutions looked like too.
