I never said there weren&#x27;t. I know a really awesome C++ &#x2F; Java dev that works with medical devices. That doesn&#x27;t mean C++ isn&#x27;t a terrible <i>language</i>. Very mature, and with the right libraries, tooling, and 30 years of experience, you can do amazing things fast with it. Just because a language &#x2F; tech stack is terrible doesn&#x27;t mean there aren&#x27;t great people using it to do great things.<p>Should a new dev learn C++? I&#x27;d say they&#x27;d be better off with Go or Rust depending on what they&#x27;re trying to do. Do we really want to be stuck with old, terrible languages forever? Imagine if we had to do web dev in Pascal.
