So… C++ seems kinda ok, as long as you don’t use like 80% of the language :-)

This is me making concessions when a library I really want to try (Dear ImGUI)is written in C++…

(yes, I know about cimgui, but for some reason I wanna learn upstream instead of generated bindings…)

@mansur85 had the same experience with Nuklear 😅 but I think that after getting the concepts of immediate mode gui (get event, define window, render stuff) Dear ImGUI seems more approachable :)

I would say that the newer features of C++ are pretty good, more modern, the language seems to always evolve. The big issue with this is that it does not seem that all of their developers decide to learn the new features and then they stick to the old way of doing things in the language.

@AleCx04 I’ve heard that, like features from c++23 are nicer than from c++11 or something? I don’t think that I actually care about learning all c++ and becoming and c++ programmer, I think my goal is more like, being able to understand it enough to use some libraries and then everything else I’ll likely keep doing in c

@benj oh by all means, I know enough to work on my projects, but wouldn't consider myself an expert or even a c++ dev, even though I had used it for work in the past. But that is pretty valid, just to learn enough
