C++ is moving a bit fast these days, isn't it? What I really like(d?) about systems programming and C++ is that the time invested accumulates and one realizes that they can achieve mastery or something close to it. If you look at JS for example, it's like starting over every 2 years.

See, that's where the "++" part of C++ comes in. They give you an extra year before you have to start over!
