Imho it's still a good idea to work with other languages as well.
Because no matter how good you are with C++, some languages will just be better and more convenient for certain tasks, it brings more ways to tackle a problem.
For example, when it comes to quickly writing a small program I prefer Python because it takes far less time to get something running. -
Too an extent I agree. However the best course I have taken was a course were we essentially made our own language. And for every milestone, we did a lab in a new language. And in the end we just exploded a few more that had interesting properties.
Granted I had programmed c++ a whole lot on my spare time before doing the course
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
Learning C++ in university for all three years. They have decided that teaching only one language is good and that once you know one language you can pick them all up.
Not sure how true this is... also sick of the lecturer saying "In the real world you would not do it this way but" I wish university's would just teach real life skills and not how to pass a test. What am I spending £9000 a year on....
