There is no situation where you should start a greenfield c++ project in current year
I would argue that unless you're specifically trying to learn a new language, you should use whatever language you're most effective in.
If that happens to be C++, use it.
Small personal project, like a console app that searches a directory for files of a specific type and produces a json output? I think you are incorrect sir
python. does c++ even have json support in std?
there's a LOT to unpack there.
but python is an alternative to c++.
you're saying that alternatives shouldn't exist? because you personally prefer one option over all others? you're selfish and stupid.
