That's exactly what C++ is designed for!  The zero-overhead rule makes
sure this isn't a problem.  Believe me, C++ is not, not, not slow,
and memory is not an issue.  In fact, C++ and the standard libraries
sometimes run _faster_ than C (compare qsort and std::sort).  Even Java
does pretty well these days with HotSpot and its ilk.
