C/C++: no convenient array support and ugly, noob-unfriendly syntax. People hate C/C++ type declaration. And don't even mention raw pointers, I have seen first hand how a bunch of clever C programmers can screw up trying to do arrays with these. Rust: does it even have arbitrarily-indexed multidimensional arrays, again? Are there good compilers? What's the performance on loop-heavy and cache-heavy code? (C at least has this covered). What are the floating point semantics and how do they affect accuracy and optimization opportunities? Julia: now that's just a Fortran of the 21st century. In few decades bikeshedders will bitch how it doesn't support the latest C++42 features, completely disregarding that understanding C++, especially code written by others, requires pretty much devoting one's life to understanding C++. Not to mention that Julia looks visually different from JavaScript and doesn't even run in the browser. What's this early 21st century Celtic relict even doing here? Don't they get that developers want to use the Web nowadays? Python: by your own standards it's worse than C because it lacks explicit inlining. QED. Never mind that C doesn't have explicit inlining either :p (hint: read docs).
