Disagree, C is not at all lower level than Rust or C++. It is much less expressive, but there is nothing that would be possible in C that can’t be done in C++/Rust. Hell, these latter two are even closer to the hardware due to having proper SIMD primitives.

C++ is the de facto “most performant” language for a reason.
