I was a C++ dev all thru the 1990s, but moved to Java, JS, Python. There's really no good argument for using C++ nowadays in 99.999% of apps. Unless you're doing something VERY special like realtime stuff, or something where each action of the CPU needs to be controlled directly, you just don't need it. I'm sure you know that, tho. Not preaching at you. I learned Python as recently as 2023, just so I could get deep into the AI landscape and access all those libraries/tools.
