In any decent CS school they actually teach you low-level stuff. Transitioning from Java to C++ for such a person is trivial.

- cupofcoffee 5y agoTo the downvoters: No, you aren't a better programmer because you code in C++. You just use a different programming language. That's all.
- johnnyanmac 5y agoI think the above comment bears repeating: >A good programmer could learn it, but it exposes concepts that python and java abstracts from the programmer. Education varies wildly, and overall in industry you will not apply 100% of your learnings. I'm sure I forgot plenty of algorthms that others use daily. Likely, others forgot plenty of low-level memory management than I use daily. Let's not turn this into a programmer measuring contest. They are different concepts and tools done for the purpose of solving problems, not flexing IQ's. coments like this are no better than the ones you complain about.
- pas 5y agoCertainly not trivial if all you have is school Java experience.
- JAlexoid 5y agoLow level stuff, I happily code off the top of my head in pure PIC and AVR assemblies, is not same as C++ low level stuff. (IMO) C++ is quickly becoming that middle ground language that is destined to be a niche language in a decade. It's not low level enough and not high level enough to give people dealing with assembly code or business logic code a reason to switch.
