(meta) I am probably wasting my time commenting on linked article here. Nobody does that /s.

I don't think the measurements support conclusion that well.

What I want to have when I see those measurements:

I want language abstract machine and compiler to not get in the way I want code on certain platforms to perform. This is currently not what I get at all. The language is actively working against me. For example, I can not read cache line from an address because my object may not span long enough. The compiler has its own direction at best. This means there is no way to specify things, and all I can do is test compiler output after each minor update. In a multi-year project such updates can happen dozens of times! The ergonomics of trying to specify things actually getting worse. The example with assembly is similar to my other experiences: the compiler ignores even intrinsics now. If it wants to optimize, it does.

I can't run to someone else for magic library solutions every time I need to write code. I need to be able to get things done in a reasonable amount of time. It is my organization development process that should decide if the solution I used should be part of some library or not. It usually means that efforts that cover only some platforms and only some libraries are not that universally applicable to my platforms and my libraries as folks at language conferences think /s.

Disclaimer. I work in gamedev.
