Pshaw. What crazy talk is this? C and C++ are so lax in their design

Generally speaking, a sane high level language that has a good

is going to be better.
OCaml is significantly faster, in general, because the design is much
tighter and so offers better static options.
OCaml or fancy JavaScript VMs still ain't got nothing on FORTRAN,
which is absolutely the high-level language of choice when performance
matters.
