Why is C/C++ captivating me more than Python?

Hello, I started getting into programming at the beginning of the year, with Python (on the recommendation of a programmer friend), and yes, the language is fine and all that. I also tried JavaScript, but I always had this ‘fear’ of C/C++ because of its syntax and what beginners usually say. But a few weeks ago, I started to get a little tired of Python. A few days ago, I started trying C, and today I wrote my first code in C++. And it's incredible! There will surely be a moment when I want to tear my hair out because it's difficult to understand (especially coming from Python), but seriously, I don't know why it captivates me. Anyway, I'm proud to have taken the plunge :)
