Fastest practical language

I know this is subjective so there is no one answer but I would like to hear your opinions anyway.

Which language has the fastest performance for most tasks while still being practical to write in?

If you have decided from the outset to use C instead of a higher level language, then you have decided to reject a lot of various resource management techniques and "safety features" that you get in those languages. Even in so called "unoptimised C" you have removed a lot of additional bookkeeping and I think it is absolutely fair to call this an optimisation, and in many cases a premature one.
