Why do people even try to vibe-code stuff in low level languages?

You either care about non-functional aspects of your code, or you don't. Running your code through the shredder that destroys everything you don't test while insisting on writing it on a language that specifies non-functional properties... I don't have any other word, it's stupid.

Control and performance, the same reasons why people write in low level languages today/yesterday instead of everything in Python or JS.

Not all vibe coding is top down "Claude build X", it can be very specific implementation guidelines and criteria.
