is there a modern C++ for python programmers? i have ~5 years programming in dynamic/interpreted (python/js) and compiled/gc'd(java/go) languages and i'd like to learn a systems language. i'm reading the rust programming book (and it's really good/easy to grok) but i'd also like to learn C++. the problem is that most books are either too easy (C++ as your first language) or too hard (straight into RAII and templates). any suggestions for learning resources? modern being key here (stuff like auto ptrs etc.)
