Is C++ slow even if you don't use any language features that add runtime overhead, e.g. runtime exceptions?

It’s not so much C++ is slow as FPGAs are so incredibly fast.

The system programming languages (C / C++ / Rust) will always have more overhead than FPGAs.

A microsecond is fast for C++. It’s like an eternity for an FPGA.

Not C++, general CPUs are “slow”.
