But do you really need these features, already available in Matlab/Python/R/Julia/Lisp/? Or did the the C++ folks simply refuse to learn other languages?
From what I have seen in R and Python, the main reason for speed issues are incompetent programmers. Certainly, bad C++ code is much faster than bad Python code, but there is also the effort to build/maintain/document/teach Root to noobs.
Hot take: It's really about preferences, not features.
