C++ or Python? Explain.

I vote for C++, even if I, in my deep heart think that Python should it be!
Python is very easy, to learn and use.
You can create so freaking many types of apps with python that it will sooner or later become the Standard language.

But I'm on this one with C++, just because the feeling I get when working with it, it's like talking to the computer, with python it's just coding.

Python.

Very simple and yet so powerful.
C++ is much more complex but also more powerful.

C++, enjoy the power you harness.

I would be remiss to actually compare these two. Being as C++ and Python aren't really for the same things. I wouldn't create a web app in c++ and I wouldn't make a 400,000 loc project in python. I mean yes, you can do both, with both. But I just don't think you can compare the two.

True, but c++ is more powerful but more complex, start with Python if it's your first language.

C++

It is my mother programming language, and it kicks arse!

I think python be because it is a lot easier and the syntax is easier than C++, but python is almost as powerful ( This is just my opinion as a beginner in python and some who tried C++ and quit).

Another reason is here is the hello world for Python -

And here is Hello World for C++ -

I also think that if you start with C++ you will get frustrated quickly and quit programming quickly.

Just my Opinion.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;    
}

Sorry, pet peeve of mine; You can still make that code one line smaller:

Not that it matters. Btw, I thought the main() function had to be of return type "int" as I wrote?

That would be silly to type std:: before every line...
