Found this gem. A single well made video in a channel. The Channel owner probably made this channel just to house one video I guess.
I havent watched it all the way through but it seems to have alot of substance. By the looks of it the guy probably has spent atleast a year developing professionally in C++ and is pretty pissed to make that video as a ventfest
See if you cant agree with something he said
I learned C++ as my first language, but haven’t touched it since really. Since it was my first language, I always liked it. But, watching this video and reflecting on my understanding of other languages, I have to agree. The language is a bloated and inconsistent mess. The fact that this video is over 2 hours says a lot.
The one thing that was good about learning c++ first was that every other language was extremely easy to pick up. And, to be clear, I learned c++ out of a textbook, which means I learned it pretty thoroughly. I did not need a textbook to learn other languages. They tend to be much more intuitive and simple if you know c++. The exception is JavaScript which is just buggy by nature and really requires knowing the bugs so they don’t bite you.
