I've mostly written C for embedded. Which sometimes needs to be fast. I agree with you.

It definitely feels like as compiler writers continue to gleefully add more footguns to C/C++. Application programmers vote with their feet by using slower or much slower interpreted languages like Java, C#, JavaScript, Python Ruby, and PHP. Meanwhile system programmers are eyeing golang and rust for infrastructure.
