Why are some programming languages "faster" or "slower" than others?
I have noticed that some applications or algorithms that are built on a programming language, say C++/Rust run faster or snappier than those built on say, Java/Node.js, running on the same machine. I have a few question regarding this: Why does this happen? What governs the "speed" of a programming language? Has this anything to do with memory management? I'd really appreciate if someone broke this down for me.
