This is similar to Flash.

OTOH it's very frustrating not to get a lowlevel access when you want to 
do some "custom" things. Flash was very highlevel at the beginning and 
started adding more lowlevel stuff little by little (Bitmaps/getPixel, 
ByteArray, ...).

IMHO a lowlevel-first approach also works : first develop the lowlevel 
stuff an play with it, so everything is customizable. Then based on user 
base wishes, add more highlevel functionalities that will speedup the 
most commonly used operations.
