My point is that a good algorithm, a good strategy can give you a several orders of magnitude speedup, more than the speed differences among languages. If a higher level language makes it easier and faster to develop good algorithms, then y

Or if you use clever algorithms. I don't have benchmarks at hand, but I suspect that an FFT in Python is faster than a naive Fourier transform in C.

Maybe not exactly what you want, but this book has some useful information: http://cleveralgorithms.com/nature-inspired/index.html . Check out the "Heuristics" subtitle of the algorithms. For example, "D

"Undefined behavior" means "undefined by the language specification ", but it is well defined by the compiler implementation . In other words, you never use the C language, always an implementation.
