Why would a language NOT use Short-circuit evaluation?

Question

Why would a language NOT use Short-circuit evaluation? Are there any benefits of not using it?

I see that it could lead to some performances issues... is that true?

Answer 1

If you wanted the right hand side to be evaluated:

if( x < 13 | ++y > 10 )
    printf("do something\n");

Perhaps you wanted y to be incremented whether or not x < 13. A good argument against doing this, however, is that creating conditions without side effects is usually better programming practice.
