Started learning C++ and I can not manage to get myself past Stroustrup's way of writing.
He writes everything like he would comments, it is borderline painful but still readable.
I am not quite sure what comedian made him like this, but everything reads with undertones of irony which should probably be avoided in (not academical) but such texts.
Eh whatever its his book!

I learned C++ many years ago, and I've actually rarely read any material from Stroustroup.. I think he has even taken a back seat to C++ in recent years - my understanding is that some of the changes in C++, especially in recent years (starting with C++11) have been without Stroustroup's direct involvement.
I did C++ for about 20+ years or so before moving to Rust as my "main driver". Stroustroup's style and what not were never for me, or any of the guides/etc. that I had to work within. I'd avoid it, personally, other than for historical reasons.
I have yet to work on a software project that uses Rust, though I've heard good things about Rust. For the projects I've happened to work on, C++ is one of the more popular/used languages.
