C++ is not as tricky as people make it out to be. There is a lot of elitism among programmers, and a lot of people seem to claim it’s hard solely to make themselves look smarter for being able to write it.
If you know the basics of programming and have the persistence to. RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual), C++ will not give you any trouble. In fact, you might actually start to enjoy it more than the other languages you used in the past.
All that said, if you are focusing on machine learning rather than programming, then you should look into Python and R. A great resource is “an introduction to data science with R” by David Langer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=32o0DnuRjfg
If this is the case I would actually love to play around with C++ as a lot of software that Python wraps around is written is in it and it gives me chance to look a little deeper into the source code.
