just learn a language?

Any time someone says "{language} can't do {feature}", chances are it CAN, and they just don't know of the right external library or built-in feature, or programming technique.

Yea, in fact, that's pretty much the definition: a programming language can do anything, if only by using DLLs made in another language or such, if it can't then it's a scripting language.

If you already know C then C++ is the easiest path forward for you.  I'd also recommend learning at least one scripting language in addition, I hear Lua is the newest sexiest scripting language around and it is designed to complement/pair with C++.

If your intent is to make anything remotely resembling a game (a wild assumption on my part based on the fact your posting on a game related forum) then this C++/Lua combination will suite you well, it's increasingly becoming an industry standard.

what does lua do that C++ is bad at?

[qwertyuiopas]

Only scripting, since it is not a compiled language, making it good for mods.

However, C++ wins for the actual programming, as it can be precompiled and optimized to acieve the best preformance possible.
