[QUOTE="Daniel Duffy, post: 237238, member: 607"] [I]Hope this helps. One final thought: developers already are and will continue to be in the future in very high demand. Learning the ins and outs of C++, one of the most difficult languages out there, will be tremendously helpful for you if you choose to go down that path, regardless if you get a job as a C++ engineer or as a general software developer.[/I] C++ is one of the few serious programming languages that helps you develop into a competent developer. The various skills that you learn cannot readily be developed in other languages because many of them treat you like a child, or hide important details that you will never get access to or even reach an impasse because they are too inflexible. My top 8+1 reasons for learning C++ 1. Multiparadigm (no other language comes near), Objects, modular, templates/generics, functional programming models 2. It is non-trivial, you learn something. 3. Good way to learn various aspects of computer science 4. It is nice for engineering applications 5. It will be with us forever 6. Learn C++ and after that all others are easy to learn. Believe me. 7. Interfaces with Python, C# etc. 8. Yuge installed base 9. Impress people at cocktail parties with statements like "I have just written a parallel Monte Carlo option pricer in C++17, with lambdas".
