Performance-oriented implies a type of tradeoff made during design decisions - that tradeoff also means the language is weaker is certain ways than languages such as Javascript, Python, Ruby, etc.
Generally that would mean:
- More static, less dynamic
- No GC
- Lighter abstractions
- More directly conforms to hardware (even when it create a 'less clean' interface)
