thank you well even though i was already set on learning c++ anyway, i still did some searching around and it just seems like 80/20 from what ive read is stuff like, ive been using C++ for decades and i say don't bother, stay way, pick up Rust instead, etc.
obviously c++ has its advantages since it's such a mature language with a massive ecosystem but it also has a lot of pitfalls. sometimes i read c++ is great and rust is just the latest kid on the block. but from the outside looking in , it's hard to distinguish where they are genuinely confident in that or are feeling threatened that possible rust comes to overtake c++. i dont that will happen of course but it's hard not to see the very strong advantages of rust over c++
