C++ was my first language. Definitely made other languages a lot easier for me to pick up

[henimbola]

i started with C and everything was fine when I started learning other languages.

I would argue that C++ would make a great first language bc if you can rewire your brain to think like a computer and be very analytical and have high attention to detail it will make learning other languages a breeze not to mention greatly improve your debugging skills thus making you a much better programmer. Even learning Assembly as a first language wouldnt hurt either. You will gain a much better appreciation of how languages evolve but more important how using a specific language will greatly depend on the use case. For low level programming like game engines, IoT/embedded systems, drivers, launching space rovers, Blockchain core, etc you will use Assembly/C/C++. For higher level coding where performance is not as critical you can use C#/Python/Go/JS, etc.
Learning Python as your first language is a terrible mistake many newbies make which is why many give up on programming. You have to start with the more complex to be able to fully understand whats under the hood so that you can then derive solutions to many problems. Not knowing how to debug at the Assembly level puts you at a great disadvantage

I learned python first and got pretty advanced with it before moving on to C++. It's been a bit challenging but overall a positive experience

[alonsocaceres]

C++ was my first language. Love at first compilation.

Unfortunately, we have a lot of people who give up easily, especially when things get difficult. If that is you then his advice is spot on.

Agreed, my first Languages were C and C++ and it was really hard to learn as a beginner but when you learn them, switching to other languages is just drinking water.

[XXXI]

My favorite programming language by far..

[zulfazlihamjah]

I learned C++ as my first programming language. It takes month to be proficient, but It is really worth it because you will be able to learn the other languages much easier😊

[vishnshiv]

i love c++, its best currently as no others like it.

[CppCodeMonkey]

I find most of the concepts in c++ relatively easy to comprehend. What i find more difficult is getting a hold of all the peripheral skills required to make any of that code you write, work. I have a hell of a time just getting my IDE to work half the time, or figuring out how to take the code and make it into something other than just a console app stuck in an editor haha

Extra warning if you haven't tried them yet. There is no build system. You got to make a script to build your project like Cmake, I was so unprepared. I braced for the manual memory impact on my face and got kicked in the nuts from the "why are you specify each C file to the compiler"

[NucleoType]

i will be kind, so will warn anyone that has planned to learn c++: if you're not willing to spend at least a couple of yrs on it, becoming more difficult every month as u will delve into pretty advanced low level concepts you better not start learning c++ at all, it is nothing compared to python, you will encounter concepts that requires you to go learning other concepts which in turn will require you to go learn OTHER concepts and so on, so keep in mind, either you willing to spend days and night for a couple of yrs on c++ either u don't start learning it, otherwise you will end up just like the 90% of other c++ beginners that tried to learn it a aborted at the beginning even tho they thought they were almost mastering it, if you think you learned c++ in a couple of months or even a year, then you didn't learn it as you think...

43, started learning cpp as my first language, been 2 months, other languages are a piece of cake for me now

Its a good thing to start learning after moving on from Python if you just find it too boring or not very useful. You dont really have to learn about things like frameworks straight away like with C#, you can go straight into programming C++, but you do need to first learn that it is a compiled language, not interpreted. Syntax and such is really not a difficult thing to learn for me.

Plus, once youve learned it, thats a career right there. C++ is literally fantastic for everything, use it everywhere. Programmes written in C++ run really, really fast, but its not as difficult as straight up programming with C. Honestly, with some use cases you might even find it easier than Python, which becomes really difficult to use if you try to push it too much. You might appreciate the increased control you have too.

[tonyartz]

Amazing work keep it up! Very informative

[wolontong]

after java, i found learning python is way harder not only because of the language structure but also because of many combability issue.

sometimes you get installation problem and or implementation problem.

[CCEDITS]

I started with C++ as my first programming language cause it taught a lot of programming concepts like memory allocation and it definitely made learning other languages much easier

[rajatmond]

C++ is my first effective programming language and I absolutely recommend it as a first language. My school taught me BASIC that I grew out of while learning it.

[carter-the-coder]

Thank you, but I wish to keep my sanity.
