Far easier than the way anyone without low level experience (which meant almost everybody starting out) approached learning C and C+, back when Java, C#, Python, Perl etc were not yet a thing, and you got either got directly into C/C++ or started with PASCAL and BASIC if you were lucky. Oh, and no IDES, internet, stack overflow, or forums either...

I mean I wouldn't recommend anyone do that either. Doubt you'll find many C++ roles taking people without experience either.
