People often regard C++ as one of the harder languages to learn, but once you understand the fundamentals, I feel like it’s much easier to use than some of the alternatives. I’ve focused on C++ almost exclusively for well over a decade, and any time I’m forced to use C#, Java, Python (especially Python), or any other modern language, it just seems harder. They abstract away so much that it makes it more difficult to make the language do what you want.
If you regularly have to switch between Java, C#, Python, and other high-level languages, C++ feels a lot more difficult (plus I personally find the syntax for C++ isn’t intuitive, so I constantly have to look things up). It really depends on where you’re coming from.

You’re not wrong, but the key here is:
