>because x86 was designed to run C/C++ code
because every architecture today was "designed to run C/C++" code it supposedly runs the fastest.
Find any (modern) architecture where you can buy chips which run some non-asm language faster than C
Thats right:you can't, because all of them from the smallest micro-controller to the supercomputing networks prefer to work with C or at least Fortran(for math).
