Title: Hello there,<p>I‘m in a bit of a pinch. I‘m currently part of a team that needs help with C++ development.<p>My background is around 9 years of iOS &#x2F; macOS development using ObjC &#x2F; Swift and a few projects using C#.<p>In the recent months &#x2F; years I tried to hone my software-craftsmanship and stay up-to-date on stuff like TDD, functional programming, protocol-oriented-programming, moving away from objects, and so on.<p>I could help out my team and my employer by diving into C++. However I have some prejudices which I want to sort out:<p>- I’m hesitant towards C++ as it seems an ancient programming language and I don’t know for how long it will be around.<p>- I‘m hesistant on investing time into C++ as I don’t know how much acquiring this language as a skill will help me advance my career as a software-developer.<p>Could you provide some pro&#x2F;contra arguments?<p>Best wishes from Southern Germany
