I'm thinking of trying to make some simple 2d games, but I've yet to choose a language. A lot of people recommend either C++ with SDL or python with pygame. I keep hearing that developement on C++ is fairly slow, and developement time with Python is fairly fast.
Anyways, could anyone elaborate on this? What exactly makes development in C++ so time consuming? The programs I've made have been Project Euler-style in that they're very short and math-based, so I have no experience in larger projects.
there are many things that make c++ longer to develop in.  Its lower level, has pointers, different libraries for different systems, the type system, and there are others I am sure I am missing.
C++ slow, python fast? (in terms of development time)
