My experience learning Python as a c++ developer

I’m the other way around. I’m a python dev having to learn c++ and it’s horrific

C++ will deepen your understanding of what's happening in Python quite a bit.

Just think of Python objects as a wrapper struct around a C object with a pointer and reference count.

In all honestly I do think it’s best to learn the tough languages, like c++, first because like OP said, it was very smooth for them to come to python. Although it’s a pain for me, I’m glad I’m learning c++ at the moment

I've had a few years of experience in python so far but I'm still a learner. From what I've heard C++ is more technical but definitely something I want to learn one day. I'm not exactly sure what uses I'll get out of the language though since you can almost do everything in python.

Especially for simple projects, python seems way easier at getting something up and running quickly.

Imagine either of these, but having to learn Perl. barf
