One of the biggest misconceptions in programming is that coding in C++ is nightmarishly hard. I’ve been working in C++ professionally for close to 15 years (though my current role is Python). I’ve done graphics, UI, backend systems, low level bits and bytes concurrency laden code, you name it, and I can attest to it not being so bad. In many ways, it can even be easier than Python when working with more complex and nested codebase because it’s so flexible yet so expressive.
C++ is a big, complex language and learning all of its intricacies like many C++ classes nowadays teach is daunting. And that’s where I believe the problems lie. You don’t need to know everything about C++ to start working with it day to day, just the fundamentals. Remember, it was the first language taught to older millennials for a reason.
