OK, fine, C++ is worth learning to learn what not to do, BUT, only after you've learned every other language out there. It's a waste of time to learn it before

OK, fine, C++ is worth learning to learn what not to do, BUT, only after you've learned every other language out there. It's a waste of time to learn it before other languages because you won't have the background necessary to really appreciate how bad the language is otherwise. You might actually think it's a good language and never bother learning all the other better languages out there. Also, anything that reduces the supply of C++ programmers available for businesses to hire is probably a good thing. Fewer C++ programmers means fewer C++ programs and fewer C++ libraries, so hopefully they'll finally start writing frameworks in something other than C++.
