Lately, I've been thinking to learn a new programming language to boost up my programming career. I already knew Python and C#. I use Python for my...

Because Rust 😂
Verbatim my knee jerk response.
C++ seems nifty if you are trying to get a well paying niche job, but if you don't plan on entering the C++ workforce in the next couple years I can't imagine it would be more rewarding than learning Rust.
(Absolutely DO NOT take my response as expert opinion. I know nothing and have done nothing, it just seems like the future from what I've seen.)
That's a good choice though
C++ has a reputation of being for legacy code bases, but that's demonstratively false, especially for graphics-intensive applications. The two most recent new applications to gain real traction in graphics-intensive fields are the Affinity line from Serif (released 2014) and Figma (released 2016), both have graphics engines written in C++.
There's a new industry-wide trend of calling technologies that are used for the most successful, new, bleeding-edge software "legacy". Calling C++ a legacy language is part of that. C++ will be legacy when new, important, software is no longer written in it. That's not true today, and since I'd personally consider Figma the most important new application of the last decade, I'd say the exact opposite is true.
If I could like your comment like a million times trust me I will.
In addition, thank you for this statement:
If I could I'll make a poster out of it and show it to every beginner programmer that gets discouraged by reading "advice" on the internet that a programming language is not worth learning because it is "legacy".
I might as well add that if they want to work on a project it's best to do research on the domain-specific language, rather than asking on the internet something like "I want to develop a desktop application what language should I learn?". There is a high probability they will get responses suggesting the "new" and "trendy" technology.
I code Nim lang, it made me learn C, C++, JavaScript too, so yeah I think C++ is good,
but just not for me, I want the features of Rust, with Python-like syntax, speed of C,
and runs on the browser and interpreted.
:)
That's really a high demand I might say. 😉
Hmmm, Rust, Go, Swift, ill pass on C++.
Hello Muhimem. Pls I am creating EEG analysis desktop app in pyqt5. I have issues counting EEG signals peaks per 1 sec. Help me out. Share your contacts I will sent my files.
Conduct like this will not be tolerated.
The police are on their way.
Don't bother deleting your comment, it is in the database.
😅
I hope you know that you will learn C in C++ first.
2 years ago when I first wrote my hello world program, that was in C. So, yeah!
