In practice, I see people write very performance C code where it matters, while moving on quickly where it does not. C++ code is often highly templated with annoying compile times, but still often slow because it still does not use the right data structures, and the amount of instruction bloat by specializing everything does not help for anything which is not a toy benchmark.
