I think this is wise. On a one man team, assigned a task of 'just get it done', I can think of better languages than C++ for most tasks. I think a general awareness of C++ is good, so that when joining a team you can learn their corner of C++. Whereas spending your own time learning all corners of it is bad, because a lot of that time could be wasted, unless it's an enjoyable way to spend time for that given person.
- banachtarski 13y agoIn the games world, C++ is still ubiquitous as it is one of the few places where bleeding edge performance is a competitive advantage. In my case, I want to write my own game engine :). I've been using other engines for years and have plenty of experience in other languages (Haskell, Ruby, Python, Lisp, Erlang, etc). Although I have a lot of C++ experience, I feel like the idioms sometimes allude me.
