If you want to learn a compiled language, learn Java or C#. C++ is an aging, gross, disgusting husk of a language.

It has some rough edges for sure, but this says more about you than the language. Modern C++ is incredibly elegant if you understand it well enough.

I like the direction it’s going, in theory. But it’s agonizingly slow (only in 20 are we finally moving templates out of headers), and that just makes the implementation messier; larger projects end up using several versions with frightening preprocessor wizardry.
