  1. Programming well is almost always low level if you want to get good results, even in functional languages where all the coding is done high level. A solution has to take into account the underlying architecture for best results. We do this by predicting what style of memory access and alignments are needed and in case of concurrency what can run the most unhindered. And then make the right decisions that are conductive to this with the available tools. Performance choices are primarily data-driven, so careful modeling and choice of algorithms, with an eye on possible concurrency and resource sharing are key. The last thing we need is a language obstructing us in making the right choices. A good language can be high or low level, but in all cases it is only good if it allows good design decisions to be implemented easily. If it does not, it is by definition a bad language!!! C++ is a pretty good language if it were not so bloated and out of focus. It tries to be everything to everyone and this is where it becomes bad. This makes it complicated and looses much of C's power. Rust however looks bad to the core to me.
