I do a lot of fairly complex data processing that benefits from any abstraction I can get.
E.g. "Take these 50,000 data points, identify and apply the best set of filters for each sections, then produce the best curve fit for each section." It's massively complex and (hilariously) produces multiple equally massive data sets while working -- acceleration and velocity plots, for example.
In the early 90s I coded up a fairly massive data analysis suite entirely in C.
Around 1997 I translated it to C++ - the resulting data analysis ran at 1/2 the speed of the C code, but was 300% faster to modify, expand and maintain. And processor speeds were doubling every 9 months anyway.
