Hey DevRant fam, i'm curious to know, if you had to use a programming language you haven't used in a good long time, such as c++ or any language for that matter, what would be your method to be getting back into that language again?

cheers :-)

    Update on the latest language features, check compiled and dependency management, configuration and start coding.

    @SortOfTested Thats interesting and sounds quite complicated, what do you mean by dependency management? and thanks for your kind comment mate :-)

    @KingMilo depends on the product I have in mind. Last time I went for C++ I did some Vulkan.

    @Tayo Thanks mate! I've personally never seen Vulkan, but i'd be very happy to try it out :-)

    @KingMilo compared to OpenGL it's like a blessing from heaven.

    @Tayo Would it be difficult for a 'beginner' to intermediate to learn it? :-)

    @KingMilo shouldn't be too difficult if you're already familiar with low level game development. Don't take my word for it though, I'm no expert 😝

    I’m gonna be in this scenario with Python and C++ so I’ll prob just do a project with the knowledge I’ve gained since using those languages but with concepts from the languages I’d be using again

    @KingMilo
    Maven, nuget, pip, rubygems, npm/yarn, Conan, etc. Most languages have some sort of third party dependency management.

    @KingMilo Vulkan can be used for anything which requires GPU acceleration iirc. I think some crypto miners are built with it as well. Again, not sure, since I'm not too familiar with the ecosystem.
