My Observations by Ejiod(op): 10:11am On Jul 23, 2017
I discovered here that there are few or no C / C++ programmers.I really Dont know why.

Not really, to be a programmer that writes firmware for drivers, or software for embedded systems, you need to know C/C++.

Most people that studied Ele. Engineering/Comp Engineering know C/C++ and some depending on the school they went to in Computer Science know C/C++ as well.

i know python, c++, java.

i haven't used them to implement anything, just to write exam pass.

computer science in Nigeria sucks

That may be true (about Computer Science in Nigeria sucking). But what stops you from doing your own side projects? There is a fellow from Sudan for instance that created his own debian-based Linux and conditions in Sudan are worse than Nigeria.

To be frank this applies to foreign computer engineers not Nigeria.We virtually know that its less 10% of computer graduates that writes codes.Nigeria settings conditions student to read,cram and pass.

There are actually quite a few (I can mention 3) reasonably good C++ folks here. Mind you, there's no such language as "C/C++"...

C++ used to strive for philosophical compatibility with C, but that ceased to be true long time ago. Recent C++ standards reflects that: C++11, C++14 and soon to be published C++17

I find myself constantly learning it and forgetting it, because am not engaged on a C++ project had the intention of using it for one lib Cocos2dx but laziness and work got in the way. Still sha it's what I use to practise all my DSA

People often categorise C and C++ together despite them being quite different languages (C++ is object oriented whereas C isn't).
