> - Waiting for Cross-Platform standardized SIMD vector datatypes
which language has standardized SIMD vector datatypes ? most languages don't even have any ability to express SIMD while in C++ I can just use Vc (https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc), nsimd (https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd) or one of the other ton of alternatives, and have stuff that JustWorksTM on more architectures than most languages even support
- Using nonstandard extensions, libraries or home-baked solutions to run computations in parallel on many cores or on different processors than the CPU
what are the other native languages with a standardized memory model for atomics ? and, what's the problem with using libraries ? it's not like you're going to use C# or Java's built-in threadpools if you are doing any serious work, no ? Do they even have something as easy to u

se as https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow ?
- Debugging cross-platform code using couts, cerrs and printfs
because people never use console.log in JS or System.println in C# maybe ?
- Forced to use boost for even quite elementary operations on std::strings.
can you point to non-trivial java projects that do not use Apache Commons ? Also, the boost string algorithms are header-only so you will end up with exactly the same binaries that if it was in some std::string_algorithms namespace:
