Hi!
A while ago, after my journey with PHP and Python, I've decided
to learn C++. However, the more I learned, the more it got
complicated. I think what Scott Meyer said in his talk was the
main reason: the language was inconsistent; it didn't make sense
as a whole. It always needed an extra e

If you see "abandoned libraries", you're probably looking at
DSource, which is dead. Everything has long since moved to GitHub.
Derelict provides good SDL2 as well as SFML2 bindings (and
bindings to many other APIs). For GUI, (assuming you don't want
Windows-only ones) TkD is simple and easy-t

If nothing can convince you, learning D will make it way easier
to learn C++, and you won't write the same C++ either.
