I recommend using a language, based on what you plan to make

Itās a great language to learnā¦BUTā¦
Itās probably the hardest language to learnā¦itās VERY complex.
Itās a TERRIBLE choice as the FIRST language to learn (because (1)).
Itās not used as frequently as (say) Java or JavaScript - so if itās the only language you know - youād be narrowing the range of industry where you could get jobs.
But for some industries (video games, for example) itās more or less the only language in common use.
C++ is without doubt the most powerful and fastest language we haveā¦along with itās subset language āCā.
If you are determined to learn C++, I always recommend starting off by learning C. C is a subset of C++ (well, more or less) - so to learn C++ youād have to learn 99% of C anyway. C is one of the simplest languages out there - and is very easy to learn.
Learning to program is a lot more than learning a language. I always recommend picking a language thatās fast to learn - use that to get to grips with the entire concept of programming and how to write large/complex software and doing so in a team environment.
Once you can program with speed and confidence - picking a āsecond languageā is a good next step - and youāll know enough by then to know which sub-field within computer programming you want to get into long term. That choice of sub-field will determine which language to learn next - and C++ would be a good choice for those industries that use it widely.
