I'm not sure what you mean. Have you read Stroustrup's book? It was my first "practical" intro to object oriented programming, and I struggled with it. I would describe it as Byzantine technology explained with an economy of words that approaches poetry, at least in the way you must ponder each sentence. And the exercises are stimulating, in the sense of a cattle prod. I enjoy that sort of thing, in reasonable doses. Since then I've stayed away from C++ unless it's externally imposed, and built things with C and Python. I like a language whose basic features can fit in my small brain, a language that gets out of the way.
