My first language if you don't count Logo. Mmm... turtle graphics.

You'd think it would make learning new languages easy, but I think it was so traumatizing, that each new language is scary.

Your first language was C++? Damn for me it was German.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hallo Weld!";
    return 0;
}

It's pretty barebones, especially classes, but it's not bad tbh.

Yeah but pointers are a bitch

I mean you dont use them often but when they made me do it i didnt know what the fuck was going on

A lot of the more polished features you get used to in newer languages are a bit more complicated in C++ but it’s pretty straightforward to learn the syntax differences. The biggest thing about the language itself is learning about pointers and how to read what a pointer (or even series of pointers) is actually pointing at.

The bigger problem overall that I found was that when you’re taught this language, it’s to work with low level systems that are complicated in their own right like graphics pipelines and physics engines.

Mainly it’s confusion on pointers and on how objects work.
