I’m thinking about getting into programming more seriously, and most of the projects I’m interested in (especially in audio) are typically done in C++.

The thing is, I only have very basic experience from a long time ago (a bit of Python and JavaScript, nothing advanced), so I’m basically starting from scratch again.

One important thing: I’d like to learn without relying heavily on AI, because I want to actually understand what’s going on under the hood, not just generate working code.

I often see people recommend starting with “easier” languages first, but I’m wondering if that’s really necessary if my end goal is C++?
