> If you start with C++, you're committed to a multi year project, that's what it takes to advance from novice to junior level.

This is nonsense. Perhaps it's true to some degree if you try to "learn" C++ from tutorials of dubious quality rather than from a decent book.

You sound like someone who has never really explored C++ lookup rules.

Funnily I've been working on MLOC-sized C++ projects and almost never had a problem with lookup rules. On rare occasions where it was a problem, it was a compile-time problem and easily resolved.

In any case, these rules do not fall under what I'd call "junior-level" C++ programmer as the OP wrote.
