In the case of Matlab, I'd say it's slow mainly because of the way it's
interpreted. C++ is arguably as 'high level' or even higher than Matlab
(C++ having far more powerful object-oriented features, but Matlab having
better handling of multiple arguments and return values, for instance...),
yet it's much faster than equivalent Matlab code.
