My first ever big boy language was C++ (after Basic, and Logo, does anyone remember that lol). I was in middle school, tried to self-learn from learncpp.com, only to realize that I had mostly learned C, with cin-cout instead of printf-scanf. So I just decided to migrate to C. Nowadays, I mostly code in Rust, Go, and Python. But my experience with C has been extremely helpful. Can’t say the same about C++ though.
Try the c++23 standard. There’s been a lot of cross pollination. Contrived example follows:
#include<format>#include<numbers>#include<print>#include<string>intmain(int argc, char *argv[]){
double pi = std::numbers::pi;
std::string fstr = std::format("{}, {:>.2}, {:>.5}, {:>.10}", pi, pi, pi, pi);
std::string h = "Hello";
std::string w = "World";
std::println("{}, {}!", h, w);
std::print("This won't have a {},", "newline");
std::println(" but this will add it."); // Add a newline.// Can't put a non-constant string as the first argument to// print or println so they can be checked at compile time.
std::println("{}", fstr);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Was Logo that turtle language?
Yes. IIRC, the flavor that I used was MSWLogo.
