When you're actually aiming for performance, in my experience code stops looking like "real code" pretty quickly in the hotspot, so benchmarks are representative in that way.
I mean, for example media codecs "written in C" are typically highly vectorised, architecture-specific ASM kernels with C around it for handling the flow.
