C++ is a language you should give serious consideration to learning in 2019 (or whenever you happen to come across this article). Rapid language modernization, better tooling, a growing and inclusive community, and a thriving job market are just some of the reasons C++ should be your next language to learn.

Yeah, I get it. At least in the communities I've been a part of over the years, C++ has a consistently bad reputation.

Modern C++ (versions ≥ 11) is an entirely different beast and should be considered separately.

Plus, importing crusty old code into your projects is fun, well, at least more fun than dissecting them and re-coding in a new language which lacks the libraries they leaned on.

    I know that's in discussion, but there's no warranty that will be a foolproof solution.

    Let's give a round of applause to C++ for catching up to the 1970s. :D
