A third talk (from another person) about related matters:

He doesn't use RTTI, exceptions, multiple inheritance, STL,
templates, and lot of other C++ stuff. On the other hand he
writes data-oriented code manually, the compiler and language
give him only very limited help, and the code he writes looks
twiddly and bug-prone. So why aren't they designing a language
without most of the C++ stuff they don't use, but with features
that help them write the data-oriented code they need?

He (deliberately I'd guess)conflates cache friendly data
structures and access patterns with his particular preference for
a C style.
It is a fallacy that he presents as fact.
The key to these type of fast code isn't the C style, it is the
contiguous data layout, and cache friendly access patterns, both
of which are easily enough to perform in modern C++.
