Actually, I wanted to learn C++. But since in C++ everthing is mixed up
(syntax, memory management, object model, etc) I thought: better if I learn
OOP from a language without additional complications, then, once I understand
the relevant concepts I can translate them to C++.
The problem is that, now that I know Python, I have lost any motivation
to learn C++ anymore ...
