The thing is: C++ ain't a language. It's two, if not three languages mashed together. You start with the C preprocessor, then you have the template language and only then you find classes, objects, pointers, etc. That's like learning Rust but having to learn POSIX sh, and some badly documented Haskell dialect on top of it just to get going.
