I don't think it's necessary. With modern C++ it's possible to encapsulate high performance code.

The issue with games in particular is probably partly due to the performance optimizations being directed at a moving target (it's not just your supercomputer nodes, it's every computer CPU). C++ doesn't really help you much in that regard (or at least better know but certainly not 10 years ago)
