very confused on the standard.

so in the past weve gotten into arguments about how java is slower because its written in c (back in the good old fred bill days ;) ) and it got me thinking, why dont the c++ standard writers just add this to the standard and everything would be fine:
-the program always does what the user wants it to, no matter how it is written
-it is always faster than any equivalent program written in any other language
-you can embed any language any it.
-make string a built in type

i fail to see why the standard writers havent done this. i mean it would solve everyones problems

edit: i would also like to take this time to thank everyone for not taking this too seriously like they would on other forums ;)

Because everyone always posts this on forums and no-one has actually told the dev team...

What do you mean by this? It should read your mind?
-it is always faster than any equivalent program written in any other language
Why not have every language be always faster than every other language? ;)
-you can embed any language any it.
It's really up to the designers of the embedded language. How can you make every possible language embeddable.

@htirwin: here is a general answer: the standard writers just have to put it in. then the compiler writers have to obey
