C++ is a beast of a language. I'm currently in the process of re-learning it (it was my first language 8 years ago when I started to program) and I can say that learning C++ today is much easier than it was 8 years ago and there are few reasons for that.
C++ evolved a lot. Back then even C++11 didn't have much support by compilers, and C++ before C++11 was a mess.
IDE support is much better too. Back then I remember I was using Dev C++ and Code::Blocks. Right now I'm on CLion and I wish something like it existed much earlier.
We now have C++ Core Guidelines. This means there are at least some established practices we can follow in writing C++ applications.
There were some bad decisions made in the past that have made C++ huge but overall it's quite great language which got undeserved bad reputation, mostly by the people who try to use it in a wrong way or those who are too scared by the power it gives to you (and with the great power comes the great responsibility too).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
