Try D. It's super fun


I want to learn C++ because of how mainstream it is. I'm willing to suffer through some bullshit to understand what game devs in the late 90s/early 00s had to put up with.

Of all the things you could complain about, you complain about that? Anyway, try Go: https://golang.org/

Or if you want a language without a garbage collector/runtime, do Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/


The garbage collector/runtime is something of a dealbreaker for me because currently I don't know a language that's well suited to gaming and embedded development. Just the thought that I'm unnecessarily wasting resources is an irrational bugbear of mine. Rust sounds great from everything I've heard, but I'm going super mainstream just so it's easier to find support for the weird issues I'll no doubt encounter.

If C# is so much better, why won't it let me use pointers?

C# would be better in every way if not for that. Big boy pants not allowed.


The unsafe context is your big boy pants. It allows the use of pointers and manual memory allocation.
