> I can write C that is as fast as C++.

Only if ignoring the C++ compile time execution capabilites.



C++ compile time execution is just a gimmicky code generator, you can do it in any language.


Yeah, I could also be writting in a macro assembler for some Lisp inspired ideas and optimal performace.


Any code that can be generated at compile-time can be written the old fashioned way.


Including using a macro assembler with a bunch MASM/TASM like clever macros.
