Comments on: Knives This resonated especially strongly with me. I'm a recent graduate from Full Sail's game development program, where the focus is almost entirely on C++. This is not a bad thing obviously, but it's left me wanting to explore other languages to build a better toolkit. Since graduating, I've gone out of my way to keep myself constantly learning. I revisited languages I hadn't touched in years, and dove headfirst into Python (which has since found its way into day to day usage). I've met a good many programmers among my peers who are very focused on a single language without understanding the strengths and weaknesses of it. If anything, by working with other languages I have found a better understanding of what C++ is best at, while also improving my ability to switch between tools as needed.
