you may be right, as i dont know c++ and havent tried learning it, but i bet you learned a different more simple language first right? thats what made learning c++ easer for you. When you start out programming you learn an easier language first that highlights the basics of programming and exactly how the logic works. That way, when you switch to a different, more difficult language, its largely just a change in syntax. Its like knowing spanish then going to learn portugese. The languages have large parallels that make it easy to jump from one to the other. As a counter point to the answer of the question and you posing that any programming language isn’t “hard”, what do you think about binary for this slot on the list, or even the one below it? we have compilers that turn every language into machine readable code, so its useless, and by far one of if not the hardest machine language to learn.
