> C++ takes forever to learn (basically, it never ends) It's not just that it has a huge and growing feature-set, it also has an outsize wealth of dark corners. As a slight silver lining, there's an excellent community on StackOverflow where these quirks are explained well. You can spend hours just reading about initialization in C++. I have, and I can only recall a small fraction of it (but I rarely use C++). It's nightmarish in ways you'd never imagine.
