Using C++ libraries from other languages is either bloat or hard to use.
The problem of the C++ widget libraries is that they are meant to be used
directly, not to base a higher level widget set (like LCL) with an own set
of properties on them.
If you try that you end up actually working around what the C++ api
provides.
In theory, many C++ libraries should be faster, in practice they're not.
Faster than WHAT?
This is due to the fact that many C++ developers are just to desperate to
start programming, skipping the design process.
Remember that Pascal was originaly designed to help students to learn
programming, wheter structured programming or object oriented
programming...
While true, this is often misstated. Pascal was designed to teach math
students (and that often even meant post-docs) efficient (practical)
implementations of algoritms, and Pascal itself was designed to be
efficient.
When stated like above it sounds like it was for beginners programming, and
one expects the turtle to make its appearance any second.

C++ libraries hard to use?
Can you give me examples?
I think it does not matter what was language designed for.
For me, it is a question what I can do with it.
I cannot see significant difference between Pascal and C++ that would
affect how the compiler should be implemented.
How fast a language is, depends on the compiler.
If you make a compiler that is advanced enough, then the language will
be fast.
