The key fact that you're ignoring is that, as you implicitly acknowledge, "in some cases" it says absolutely nothing about efficiency or safety. Software isn't magic.

The days where the myth that using language X bought you more speed are long gone, along with the credibility kf those who keep making those baseless claims.
