I would add that is largely a perception problem. A certain "free" and
widely obtainable compiler has decidely poor optimization compared to many
commercially obtainable compilers. It is several years behind period.
The fact the C++ was initially implemented merely as a pre-compiler to
native C adds to the perception that it can only be slower.
LISP has suffered from a similar perception ever since it was introduced
as an interpreted language. The fact that many CLOS implementations
now compile natively and are extremely efficient seems to make no
difference to many.
I believe that many COBOL compilers perform better optimization than
most C compilers. Thats not an endorsement of COBOL as a good language
choice for what we are programming, BTW. Its just an observation.
