I think you are missing the point. It is widely understood in the C++ world that no one needs to know &quot;all language features&quot; and in reality, almost no one does. It&#x27;s not a language where that is necessary or expected because the language is large and has a tremendous range of uses, and no one needs all of it for a particular project or focus.<p>But you can most certainly learn all the basics of writing good C++ code, and interop with great C++ libraries and get real stuff done, in fairly short time. It took me about a month to go from Objective-C to C++ and start publishing iOS apps written almost entirely in C++. And if you don&#x27;t need that, you can start writing command-line utilities in a few days at most.
