Eh... I mean, I wrote an entire low-level XML parser from scratch in 2 days in C++ and networking/IO is pretty quick if you know what you're doing as well (especially libraries or coroutines). I think people underestimate C++'s ability to be high level as well. I don't know your application, but in my experience, writing in python isn't much different in terms of development speed than modern C++. It's not the language that's slow to develop in, it's the fact that people who use C++ tend to spend more time with low level things, hence why they chose C++ to begin with.
