Many would say otherwise. I think the reason alot of modern
languages like python, java and c# exist is because its easier to
look at them and not get a headache. Which means they were
derived from the concept of having a programming language that
was not just user friendly, but also cleaner and easier to learn
than the mess that is C/C++.

Believe it or not, many of us are here because of that very
reason, we want something that is just or nearly as good as C/C++
but without the mess. Even if its still using the C/C++ training
wheels.
