About a year ago I bought the official C++ book and read through it fully (including most of the reference part) after finding out that Animal Well was written in it. It honestly seems like a very good and interesting langauge, if carefully used, especially for games where memory can be allocated at startup and held forever. Kinda wish I had an excuse to write some C++.

I had the same feeling in grad school back ~15 years ago… I could pick any language for my coursework, so I picked C++ purely because it seemed an important language to learn. I was also tracking C++0x (later C++11) very carefully just for academic purposes. I’ve still never used C++ at work but I don’t regret using it in grad school, learning it gives a lot of insight into tradeoffs when designing a language, and I felt it was a lot easier to pick up Rust later on having already known C++.
