Oh, he switched to QT for the GUI chapter. That's a significant change from FLTK. Should be well received as QT is popular in industry. Not sure how the learning curve will be affected.

I miss my days working with C++. It's moved further down the development stack than where it used to be. We used to handle UI, API parsing, and pretty much everything using C++.

I felt some nostalgia for Fortran a while ago. Spent half an hour programming in it, cured. Maybe take a shot at parsing JSON in C++ and see if the nostalgia survives the process.
One of the first things I did when I got my PiDP-11 which can run RSX-11M and the DEC fortran compiler. I spent many many hours programming in Fortran when I was in college and thought wow I could relive some of that, about 5 minutes in I was "okay, step slowly away from the console." :-)

Why is that? I'm genuinely curious. Also, what languages / environments do you prefer?
Not gp but I prefer rust to python and I'm itching to try that "just write your build scripts and stuff in rust too" Sure the builds are slow and Python _kinda_ has static typing, but rust just has a lot of stuff I like and it's practical to install and use natively without learning all the jargon like venvs and eggs and wheels and which package manager and package manager manager (rye?) to use this year I tried Pyth…
I can understand not wanting to use Python for everything, but I see the problem being the 'use it for everything' not the language choice.
Use the tool that excels at the job. There is no language that is good at everything.
I've always wanted to learn C++. I have a great handle on C#, making large applications and architectures as well as legacy refactoring in C#, and I would love to learn C++. I recently started at a company with a bit of a hairy c++ application that I would love to refactor or understand more thoroughly. Is this book a good place. Note that I have read a very basic book on C++ much more learning programming book, but…
