Disclaimer: I actually like C++ the language, I'm reasonably comfortable with it and enjoy it as an upgrade from C. I don't use much OOP stuff as I'm writing a game using the flecs ECS. So things like abstract classes are mostly absent from my codebase.
What has been driving me up the wall the last month has been build systems and dependencies: don't get me wrong; meson is great but the problem is not everyone uses meson. All I want to do is add some library built with cmake as a dependency without needing to rewrite the build system or install it on my OS. Apparently that is too much to ask!
I'm seriously considering dropping everything and jumping to Rust because of Cargo. Yes I've tried setting up conan but not having much fun since the recipes are all third party and out of date anyways
Brackeys started a series on Godot recently. If you are writing a smaller game GDscript looks attractive and far simpler.
Being a Python simp, I find GDscript just different enough to nag. There's a lot of QoL stuff they don't have and aren't (currently) looking to add in order to keep the language simple. Honestly has me looking to use C# instead.
