Lost cause in what sense?In the sense of being fast.Assume you meant in comparison with C, which is arguably the best choice for performance. But when the code complexity grows and when OO approach can make code more maintainable I think C++ is still the best choice available for performance.
Well, possibly in comparison with C, but not strictly so. But yes, I would agree that Python (for example) would be even worse. :-)
OO does not necessarily mean the code is more maintainable. There is no automatic association between any paradigm and any attribute like this. There is code that is easy to maintain in any language, and there is code that is horrible to maintain in any language. It's much more a reflection on the design and implementation than the paradigm or tool used.
In either case performance is a function of design first then the platforms...
I would agree that design is always a primary issue.
