The only thing any test proves is, which compiler produces more efficient assembly code.

Specifically, it's LLVM vs all the other C++ compilers.

C++ compilers like GCC generate more optimized asm for some things. Other things LLVM does better than GCC, but so does C++ compiled with LLVM.

C++ is a fantastic language, but it's become far too complicated with people using like 10% of the features, but everyone uses a slightly different 10%, and no one can really know more than 20%... cpp2 is trying to address this, but in the meantime you have new entrants looking to take over the real-time space (rust, zig, etc.)

The honest no BS answer is: it depends... more specifically, you need to do your own benchmarks specifically on the bottlenecks you expect your project to face.

Isn't Rust getting on the same boat fast?
