Wheres my C# :(? I cant stand C++ or VisualScript

I love UE4 but i absolutely hate coding anything in it.
Since it went free i kept trying back and forth between Visual Script and C++ and its july now im ready to call it quits,no point wasting more months on it.

I think you are approaching this all wrong. The language you’re programming in doesn’t matter, in fact if you’re a programmer, and you cant program in multiple languages then you really need to learn programming from a fundamental level. Not a language one. To be brutally honest, i think you need to relearn everything you’ve learned up in till this point in time and apply the techniques you learned into multiple languages. Think of programming as a general language and the programming languages as the languages dialects, each dialects have different syntax(grammar). This is important to understand that, it’s not a specific language you are having trouble with, its that you are having trouble with programming as a whole. At least by the way you wrote this thread, im led to believe so.

C++ is just impossible, takes too much time to compile, crashes my engine way too often, huge waste of time and grief/frustration, and the UE APi is quite ugly so many macros and such.
Visual Script on the other hand removes all complexity but its annoying to code bigger things in it, wires everywhere, simple comparisons like vector1.z == vector2.z makes go nuts i have to break vectors/rotators/transforms into smaller pieces and rewire its confusing and unintuitive, and the worst is that its limited to UE4 and i dont want to learn it, they should have chose a scripting language, VS or not it takes a lot of time to learn and master, hence VS is a waste if you want to do anything outside UE4.Also visual scripting has slow performance probably worse than C# as far as i read.

C++ is not impossible, i use it every day, in UE4 and not in UE4. (My compile times are not that bad at all ue4, even when rebuilding the engine from source, maybe you are in need of a new pc ?) The fact you say its crashing way to often really hints to the notion that you don’t understand memory management and programming in general. Like i said above you really need to learn fundamentals of programming in general. Like for example, whats actually happening when you create a variable independent from the language.

The ue4 api isnt ugly, its by far one of the more prettier api’s i’ve worked with in terms of game dev and api’s in general. yeah there are better laid-out apis, but the ue4 api isn’t the problem. its your lack of understanding.

I dont want to go back to Unity, has less features,stuff like particles and materials are very weak, but it supports C#(my first language) everytime i go into a script editor feels so good to work there, everything makes sense, easy to prototype with code completion and description.

Idk visual script is limited and not my style dragging/araging wires all day i cant imagine gameplay in visual script like i can in C# code idk why, and when i went to C++ it felt like a minefield, a terrible language with no reflection and very few GOOD tutorials, with bad documention.

To be brutally honest, you should feel that way no matter the editor or language, just because your programming in C# doesn’t magically change anything, it’s all in your head. I’m not trying to be rude or tell you that you don’t know how to program i just honestly think you need to understand the basics of programming, in general. not just what’s in this language or that language.

I will agree that there are few good tutorials and bad docs, but theses are both changing as time goes on.
