    Feels a bit like being told to do brain surgery and getting handed a hatchet, especially in the modern era.

    Like, its a great learning language precisely because it does force you to think about what’s actually under the hood of your objects and attributes. You actually have to learn what a pointer is. You actually have to think about memory usage and system states. Its like Bio 1 when they have you dissect a rat.

    But without a ton of library support, you’re doing so much heavy lifting. And with a bunch of library support… why not just use C#?
