I recommend using a language, based on what you plan to make C++ resources https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/459759/?ref=app

Itā€™s a great language to learnā€¦BUTā€¦ Itā€™s probably the hardest language to learnā€¦itā€™s VERY complex. Itā€™s a TERRIBLE choice as the FIRST language to learn (because (1)). Itā€™s not used as frequently as (say) Java or JavaScript - so if itā€™s the only language you know - youā€™d be narrowing the range of industry where you could get jobs. But for some industries (video games, for example) itā€™s more or less the only language in common use. C++ is without doubt the most powerful and fastest language we haveā€¦along with itā€™s subset language ā€˜Cā€™. 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++ youā€™d 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 thatā€™s 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 ā€œsecond languageā€ is a good next step - and youā€™ll 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. source: https://www.quora.com/Is-C++-a-good-language-to-learn-in-2018
