title: C++ as a first language
body: <p>I've been self-learning C++ for about 4 months now. I'm enjoying it, and I think I'm doing quite well. However, an answer to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/711350/learning-to-work-with-audio-in-c/711447#711447">a question of mine</a> got me thinking that I might be setting myself up for a fall.</p>
  
  <p>So, what do people here think about C++ as a first language to learn? And is it worth me just carrying on now that I've made a good start?</p>
