I really find Python harder to master than C++: in C++ you sometimes have to grapple with syntax and development tools, but after it's resolved, your program works predictably, just don't forget to enable debug symbols and core dumps in release builds. Resources are allocated and freed deterministically, the memory requirements are often obvious from code down to some additive, not multiplicative, constant. Granted, I mostly work on embedded image processing systems, but would use C++ in any context where long-running processes and/or low latencies are required. On a more subjective note, I'm waiting for .NET Core to mature a bit, since C# seems to have a balanced selection of features from managed and native worlds, plus a very pleasant syntax and tool support.
