I agree about Python or PHP.

However, for Java or modern C#, in my experience the performance is often fairly close. When using either of them, very often one doesn’t need C++ to be good enough.

Here’s an example, a video player library for Raspberry Pi4: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo As written on that page, just a few things are in C++ (GLES integration, audio decoders, and couple SIMD utility functions), the majority of things are in C#. Still, compared to VLC player running on the same hardware, the code uses same CPU time, and less memory.

Aren't you contradicting yourself? You started off complaining malloc of not being good enough, but now it's suddenly ok to tolerate Java and C#'s performance drop when compared to C++?

Which one is it?
