Programming Languages as Religion

I decided on C++, as that's what he uses and it works fine. But, also there are important libraries: miniaudio, and imnodes. An audio processing library, and a graphical node plugin for dear imgui.two

If I let my ego make the decision... It would have been Odin, or C. It would have been no libraries, no standard library. I doubt it would have gone anywhere.

Rather than choosing tools based on identity, instead ask yourself what's best for the project.

Every tool choice is a trade-off for you and your users - they are the ones you are building for, so don't forget them.

The most valuable long-term investment is principles/foundational skills. Invest in yourself to compound long term gains.
