Learnt Java first, then moved on to c# and dotnet. Job meant I needed to learn c, then shudder managed c++ then plain c++. Got pretty good at c++ and then moved on to Rust and haven't looked back, had to also pick up python recently. At some point I also learnt f# and a bit of haskell.

What's the difference between managed C++ and C++ if I may ask ?

A lot of ^s. It's like a weird dotnet dialect of c++ for interopt. I think they rebranded it to c++/cli. I mainly had to use it as a previous dev had written a large windows based app in it and I was lumbered with optimising it. (He was on the c++ standards committee so why he did this I don't know). To be honest I have forgotten most of the details about it.
