You can write something that passes acceptance tests in C++ without a lot of effort. It's things like removing all the bugs, memory leaks, and undefined behaviors that requires enormous expertise. There is certainly a lot of ground to cover before C++ mastery can be had, but simple OOP and procedural programs aren't that bad.

> You can write something that passes acceptance tests in C++ without a lot of effort. True for freshman-year std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl programs maybe. People's heads asplode when they get into C++ with any sophistication because they need to grasp several things at once: classes, inheritance and polymorphism, pointers (smart or not), value vs. reference types, etc. Java, JavaScript, and even Lisp go a long way toward hiding those details from the programmer.
