Ah fair. Though I do think the issue they meant is perhaps the C++‘s STL is not fleshed out enough to be as ergonomic and useful as Python.
Python’s standard library is not without its faults but I’m always so frustrated that the C++ STL stops just short of providing many things, and when it does, it requires writing out so much verbiage.
You can do many many things in Python without needing to know much other than working with dictionaries.
In C++, doing a sort or a string search is an ordeal. So much of common programming requires so much cognitive overload.
C++ is not an easy language. Not by a long shot.
