I learnt C++ in 2018 and have no regrets

c++ is not an OO language. C++ is a tool to get things done in the real world using whatever paradigm makes sense for your problem. Sometimes that is OO, sometimes not.

C++ is very messy, but for the most part you can ignore the messy things.

For the most part, the world is messy ;-)

Everything in the world is made out of a single unit: Atoms. Complexity and messiness arise from different compositions of Atoms.

I feel we should build our programs the same way. Bottom up from a small set of simple primitives. Not top down like C++.

There are three sets of primitives I can recommend for you to get some experience with: the Turing machine; the Lambda Calculus; the Lisp primitives (CONS, CAR, CDR).
