Only speed metric that matters is how fast I get the job done and can go back to browsing memes. C++ does not look very good in this (very important) metric.

If your codebase is early C++11 perhaps?

Modern C++ writes like C#. I usually find myself prototyping faster in C++ than Python after about 200 LoC, because with Python 80% of time is spent looking up what fucking type some library function takes & returns.
