If you want to do that, skip C++ entirely and just use Javascript or Python. You can get shiny things really quickly.

I think there's still value in learning the C++ language and making a game or a demo is quite rewarding although raylib does have bindings for basically every conceivable language.

Agreed, especially since it is the main language in the games industry, however that doesn't mean it should be the very first experience.
