I kinda feel insulted. I started years ago with C++ in HS with Codeblocks and felt like this is painful environment to operate, getting external libraries felt like I needed to copy files manually from the internet; idk whether I eventually figured it out because then somebody showed me C# and I quickly realized how it makes my life 10 times easier just due to allowing me to focus on actual problem solving instead of fighting with obscure language at its ancient version with probably some random compiler and random IDE cuz in CPP world there's many versions of everything with its own quirks. Bonus points when I have to compile LLVM and it takes 30min and eats whole avaliable RAM where compiling .NET's Roslyn is order of magnitude "cheaper' Thus, dealing with CPP's "weaknesses" is not a good proxy on your performance during your engineering or master's degree in comp sci. Let alone that computer science ain't school of programming or using X debugger, it's mostly math and theoretical informatics
