Compared to languages like COBOL, FORTRAN, LISP, etc., C++ is quite easy to work with. A huge number of modern languages (Java, Python, C#, PHP, Delphi, etc.) are based off of C++, so you get the advantage of getting a head start on them as well...
I think I got ruined along the way somewhere. Started in Fortran IV, then Cobol, CICs Command level (MF stuff), JCL (and all that crap). Then began dabling in Basic on a Honeywell and then on an IBM PC. That evolved to Borland's Pascal and Clipper. Then, I got tired of languages and started messing with graphics. Now, all the object-oriented stuff confuses me. You know, old dog, new tricks (yada, yada, yada).
