Is C++ really worth learning?
It’s not really a question of C++ but really any other programming language. You should approach it just as if you were asking yourself whether Java or Perl or Python were really worth learning. It all depends on the application and whether the programming language offers features that make the job easier to do. My advice is to learn as many programming languages as you can stand. Unlike human languages, programming langauges are easier to pick up. That’s because the basic programming concepts translate from language to language. There will be “loops” and “functions” in any language, though they may not be called that. One thing is certain: Knowing C makes learning other languages easier. Many languages, such as C++, use C as their inspiration. In a way, knowing C is like learning Latin, though unlike Latin C is far from a dead language.
