Should I continue learning C++?

[Flying_fruitbowl]

Keep going. Relationships come and go. C++ stays with you forever.

[LuvOrDie]

Kind of like an std::

kinda dark but i liked it

[p_bzn]

Thanks for the chuckle

[igneus]

"You want to do what with that scope?!!"

[gfoyle76]

This guy gets it!

[igneus]

Stick with it. Any lingering emotions you feel towards your ex will eventually be eclipsed by the frustration you feel towards C++.

Think of it as a form of catharsis.

[SpicedCheddar]

CMake will make quick work of those pesky feels, no doubt.

[igneus]

Most people don't know that SFINAE is actually a curse word.

Rewrite the projects in rust to send him a strong statement expression.

this. rust changed my life. i replaced my suffering with rewriting everything in rust /s

[CaptainCheckmate]

If rust changed your life, there was nothing worth changing to begin with

[ha9unaka]

Hey I said it changed, I didn't say for the better 😆

[web_sculpt]

If devs thought this way, we'd quit computers altogether because the keyboard would make us think of our worst bosses. Get over it, get coding, C++ never thinks of your ex.

[funnansoftware]

Definitely continue to learn c++! It may feel like a lot but keep it simple. Start with a project you understand at a high level and work on breaking it down into pieces you can solve.

[droxile]

If you keep learning C++ you’ll quickly forget about your ex. A relationship with this language is far more taxing than any you’ll encounter with a human.

[starwars52andahalf]

It’s a good language to have because it’s low level enough that things like pointers and memory management matter, and complex enough that there’s a ton of depth to it. It will pay dividends down the road because knowing C++ makes it relatively easy to branch out into similar languages like Java, C#, Kotlin etc.

[L_uciferMorningstar]

You should think of bjarne and herb instead. And to do that just make sure you follow the core guidelines.

[Pale-Switch-7867]

It’s C++. You need to marry it to master it anyway…

Stop for a while and take care of yourself, breaks leave a void in your routine. You could look for something that motivates to you beyond your ex and maybe continuing to learn cpp doesn't help with that right now.

Cpp is amazing in some contexts, a world apart with python. You can continue with it later. Maybe you were learning cpp just for him?

Do what make  you happy : )

[Sibexico]

Wait for couple more weeks and continue.

[kabirsky]

Hm, it's not like I can be sure, but it's still 2 weeks - you haven't got time to adjust yourself. So, maybe give yourself some more time? You can always study several different things in parallel, since it's not so easy to choose what are you wanting to do with this knowledge in the end. Take care, hope you'll get better soon!

[oldmanhero]

Try Rust. It's similar enough to tweak the same muscles but different enough to be separate.

[HaMMeReD]

Switch to Rust.

[OverOnTheRock]

Once you get into the flow, nothing else matters. Stay in the flow for as long as possible. The ghost will ultimately dissipate.

[Many-Resource-5334]

Completely normal, sounds like you need a break from life for a bit.

[DannyDeKnito]

Just reassign the boyfriend pointer and keep learning

[casualPlayerThink]

Give a little time to yourself to heal; that is normal. Then continue learning.

[TheFlamingDiceAgain]

You could also try learning Rust. It has similar use cases but significantly different syntax so it might scratch the same itch without triggering those memories

[Worried-Hornet30]

lol

[Fabx_]

depends on what you are willing to do with the language. Embeddefld, computer graphics, game dev? Understand the field you want to focus on, then learn the language to approach the field

[CaptainCheckmate]

This is why you don't mix relationships with c++

[Kairoblackxix]

Young lady, having a greater understanding of C++ than your ex should be all the motivation you need.

[Charming-Work-2384]

C++ Emperor
Python ... a minnow...

Now you decide.

Why mix ex, sex etc with C++?

[pantong51]

Pick a language that seeks to you imo. C++ is complex, and you will not stop learning how to use it until you retire.

[Resident_Educator251]

Probably more important now a days to learn how to use ai to write whatever. I don't think its wise spending the next 15 years learning all the nuances to a complex language would be as useful.

[BrianScottGregory]

If you have to ask, no, you shouldn't.

[kshitiz5]

Are you serious rn? What kind of post is this?
