I foolishly picked C++ for an assignment I did at university once and I summed up the experience as "non-deterministic programming" to a friend. To me, it seemed as if I was ending up with different results when running the same code. Then I suddenly got everything working, and that was "magic". In retrospect, it was a much too hard language for me at the time.
