H well that C++ is a terrible language obviously and I would never recommend anyone use it for anything right like like c i I think is kind of remarkable and that you can still be very productive in C to this day uh C++ I will never understand the people who defend it I really don't I'm sorry everyone out there I know there's people who will be so sad and mad at me for saying this but I literally will never understand why anyone likes that language it is so bad it just has it it has so many features and all of them are bad like they all don't quite do what you actually need them to do and and it's almost like a head scratcher like how did you manage to add this many things to the language and 99% of them are critically broken it's almost like a winning streak or well I guess it's a losing streak an unbroken an and uh a Guinness record long language losing streak that they've been having for 30 years and they just shown no signs of breaking and I'm just like that's remarkable so uh so yeah no I am 100% in support of just like I think people C and Assembly Language are two things I think everyone should learn uh Assembly Language not to write but just to read and C to write because I think it's sort of a mother language at this point it's just good and it's not hard right there's not a lot to see uh you can learn it quickly I think those are good languages to know but C++ is just it's useless
