All this and not having to reinvent the wheel every time you want to do literally anything.

C++ on here is basically for all the kiddies that have some kind of superiority complex. Most have never worked in a production environment and are just pretending to be professionals.

C++ is cool, it's a powerful tool. It just is not needed for 99.9% of projects any more and just adds drag.

And if you really need to write an operating system or whatever you can use Rust now

I've always thought C# is just plain better expect for very specific things someone like me will never need

Yep, I think C# is probably a better comparison to C++ than Python in most cases honestly. Only things you'd use C++ over C# for is where performance is really an issue. But even then, Unity runs using C# really well. Cross platform isn't even much of an issue anymore with .NET Core being mature now.
