I focused on C, and to some extent C++, as it is seen as a language
that gets closest to the metal short of assembler. In the old days the
only way to get the most performance out of some hardware was to write
it (or part of it) in C or assembler. Other languages just did not
come close.

These days however languages that such as ocaml, erlang and java have
got so good that the gap between C/C++ is less significant and
becoming a competent java programmer is much easier than becoming a
competent C programmer. That said you can get excellent performance
from these languages with less risk in development time and code
quality issues than going for C/C++.

The biggest issue for me was that the gap between C/C++ and languages
like ocaml, erlang and java is getting to the point where we can no
longer say that C/C++ will be the fastest. I was a big proponent of
the "write it in C" school when it comes to performance, I found out
that other languages were significantly faster than I assumed. I still
prototype in Ruby, but I no longer automatically rewrite it in C.
