    I started learning C++ in high school compsci class decades ago. I still havent mastered it.

    Probably because I never did any programming again after that one semester. But who knows?

      C++ is a hat on a hat on a hat kind of language. It tries to be low level but does so many things. Learn the rule of five and that’ll get you most of the way there.

      I had a pretty good grasp on it when I was coding it full time, but now I wouldn’t feel very confident using it. The language simply requires you to keep too much of it in your brain.
