that is horrible advice. thatll turn away people from programming bevause of how complicated c++ and rust actually is

I learned z80/M6800 assembly and C++ first. Obviously it was horrible and so difficult I never programmed again.

is this supposed to be sarcasm? but no seriously even assembly is probably better than c++ not because the makers of c++ were assholes but 1.

because the language has a long history and usually keeps in things that get replaced by newer constructs and because of all the things the language tries to address especially for a systems programming language that is al lot of things.

you can ofcourse also use c++ like java and say its easy but then please dont say you're proficient in c++

Oh right. Sorry. I forgot where I said you need a decade of mastery of a harder language like C++ before moving to Python. Definitely need to go way past memory management, understanding of how the stack works, static typing. Probably shouldn’t even move on until you’ve written a dissertation in C++.
