C++?

• Turing_Machine 2y ago
  Python v. C++? That reminds me of the way Utah used to give convicted murderers the choice of hanging or shooting.

    That's why you gotta shoot em up with Python to get them hooked on programming then teach them enough C++ to hang themselves with.

  No, C. Teaching C++ as a first language feels like a surefire way to embed bad habits to be unlearned once you get to the point of knowing what a `std::unique_ptr` is... but I just realized I'm also describing C. Fuck. I mean, at least you're not teaching them the conceptual dead end of classes.
