Should you learn C++ in 2023?

C++ is perhaps one of the most famous programming languages in existence. But is it worth learning in 2023? In this video, we explore some of the reasons that I think it is, and why you may want to consider learning it.

you are the next fireship . love your way of explanation and depth of field . can you also make a video on how to setup c++ make(build-process)/cmake when working in neovim .

Very underrated video now I feel safe learning c++ thank you

[okanakyuz]

One Note! we dont use make files cmake is the solution and defacto standart. For dependency management we also use cmake like CPM or Fetch or External Project. For fast compile we have several methods, precompiled headers, cchache, paralel building or flto

Thank you for this comprehensive overwiew.
2:12 "Because C++ provides very little abstraction, ..."
This is not completely true. C++ provides a wide range between no abstraction (for example direct memory access) and very high abstraction (string class, chrono, regex, data types in Standard Template like unordered_map).

love the voice
quick and concise

and i do get dreams of code

I personally use C++ for one main purpose, and that's OpenGL and GLFW. It just... works (once you fix your linker issues). I've experimented a bit with wgpu-rs since I figured making a barebones engine in Rust could be fun, but... I did not mesh with it at all.

But I might just be old-fashioned and a bit too comfy using C languages, haha.

Although there is no proper package dependency installer in C++, vcpkg and conan i think are pretty good for installing libraries and generally make the job much easier to do

[shadamethyst]

I'd argue that you don't need to learn C++ if you only want to learn the underlying concepts that have been abstracted away in higher level languages. C has most of them, and can be learned in a day, with the main exception being RAII and other drop-dependent data structures.
You do miss out on the STL, but you also don't have to uphold the invariants from the compiler - like making sure iterators don't accidentally get invalidated

C++ looks pretty interesting. Sadly, there is one thing that prevents me to fully have fun with it. No, it's not segfaults, nor pointers. It's... Building and dependency management... And the Linker...

Great video, the editing was top notch! I started learning C back in July and have been enjoying my time with it. Haven't delved into the more complex stuff like manual memory management all too much, it scares me a bit😂

[sungjuyea]

I am learning C++ and Rust simultaneously and it really helps. The one has sth that the other doesn't.

[xBiggs]

C guy here but I think 2:00 is supposed to say int *x instead of int x

"hello world has a bug"
"godbolt is a real person"
Damn I've really touched the bottom of the iceberg am I

[sillytechy]

I believe RUST is a very good alternative, also Industries like SPACE Research, Defense and other critical ones are moving to RUST, for its safety and Performance.

Compared to D programming language, I'll say C++ has only got popularity/ecosystem advantage

[jayjay]

i have use high level lang. as java and java script any good free resource there to learn c++ with some projects.

[milktea]

no, use some modern languages that have package manager and dedicated build system. your %50 of your time in C++ will be wasted by trying to build your project, write the header files and trying to understand some undefined errors coming from nowhere. In short, you will hate programming when coding in c++.
but there are some exceptions; If you know what you're doing and you're a type of person who likes to have control over things, then c++ might be for you and you won't get highly affected from the things that C++ lacks of

How do you make mobile apps with c++??
