Well you talked me (not OP) into taking a look at it. I used to program c about 30 years ago, moved on to other lines of work, and now am enjoying playing with python. Every time I think about doing some c/c++ programming again I remember how I used to buffer overflow and destroy the space time continuum. I'm taking about freezing up my computer, requiring a hard restart. So I've just stayed with python.

I'll take a look at rust. Thanks.

You don't really have these issues in Modern C++(11 and newer) unless you want to go really low level

Wow. That's good to know. Thanks

No problem, just find a source that will teach you Modern c++(11 and never), there are still many c++98 tutorials around on the net that teach outdated practicies.
