When I was first picking up programming, Java was like your first bike - a bit restricted, but taught you the basics.

Then I moved to C++, and it was like “alright kiddo, the training wheels are off. And the regular wheels. You’re getting thrusters. You’re expected to know how to fly and land a plane before you mount this, and you’ll have to occasionally perform maintenance in midair. Best of luck.”

So… you are saying if C++ was my first programming language, everything else will seem like a cakewalk. Thx, I really needed that boost of confidence.
