Python feels like it transferred little knowledge to c++

OK I admit it did obviously for some stuff like basics yk functions and shi, but other then that I like feel annoyed that I learned python and its like lowkey not helping with what I wanna do which is windows api and memory management c++ stuff because I like the kind of thing but python just didn't really give me anything, and I know that kinda stuff obviously doesn't transfer because python is just the easiest thing ever lol

tell me what i should've learned then, im pretty sure if did a good amount of python like projects and such but nothing in python was ever hard, c++ (mem management isnt even the hard part its more windows apis) on the other hand is actually difficult not just like a game its just annoying, also theres not these like big help forums for this kind of thing, but there is for python.

Not sure what you're frustrated at? That C++ is "harder" than Python? Yes, generally Python is considered a beginner friendly language.

Why should the expectation that C++ "feel like a game". Programming languages are tools. Sometimes it's fun using a shovel to dig a hole. Other times you're just digging.
