C is simply faster, but you're making a tradeoff because it's slower to code with, generally.

Exactly. And you need to decide on a case-by-case basis whether having a longer runway (because C gives you more time before you run into scalability problems) compensates for needing longer before you can take off (because C is a harder language).
