I take it you probably never tried to use any of these languages for HPC. Without a language standard, you have two options there to compile decently performant executables: (1) compiler pragmas, (2) give up and drop to assembly code.
I should add here that there's also (3): Switch to Fortran, which made fundamentally different choices and is IMO the only fully supported higher-than-C level language that can produce HPC applications without fighting a compiler left and right.
Can you link to some writeup regarding how Fortran is preferential to C++ (or rather C++ plus compiler `__restrict`) in this respect?
Long time ago at CERN.
There are some ATLAS TDAQ/HLT papers with my name on them.
Template metaprogramming, multi-threading, and custom IP protocols where much more relevant.
