The title itself is a recipe for disaster. Also this is a semi rant.
Yesterday I was informed that I will have the honour to implement the core functionality - which is an interface layer to use the driver of a very expensive hardware shit - of the software I’ve been working on as a frontend dev.
There are two possibilities for the language: C++ or C#. The one that was proposed/imposed is C#, which I know nothing of, while at least I have some hobbyist experience with C++; when asked if I could take some time to familiarise myself with C# I was basically laughed in the face, saying I will learn on the field and at least some of them have some experience with it.
Should I insist to go with C++, or is that an even worse idea in an already fucked up situation?

What language are you familiar with? Switching between the C-style OOP languages is honestly pretty straightforward.
JS/TS, Rust-ish, and CPP
Yeah, I’d say your road to C# should pretty much be syntax then. Check out a course on exercism and read a bit about common idioms in C#.
