    My problem with Boost is that I have a hard time debugging problems due to generally only finding a couple mentions of a particular command online.

    Probably I should get a book on it.

      One of the guys said something about it getting added to the formal C++ standard.
      boost.org

      It's a very, very well-designed library that makes life a lot easier. It's so well written many parts of it are being folded in the new C++ standards.

        From a purely job market point of view, I'd agree with Asher that Java is probably your best bet for the reasons he laid out.

        But SP is right that C++ is a lot more fun.
