> It's all still going to be a million time faster than whatever you were doing in Python, or Java, or Go, or Javascript, or whatever. Not at all. Systems languages don't magically make all code faster, they just help you write fast code. It's not that hard to tank performance if you're careless with allocations. I've seen some really slow C++, written by people who liked to use new everywhere like it's Java. If you want not to care about this stuff, I think that Java would fit your programming style better (or Kotlin, if you dislike Java's verbosity). The JVM is quite tolerant of doing lots of unnecessary allocations.
