For many things, I have found this easy language is C++.

I use JavaScript and C++ for different things, sometimes in the same day. (And python and PHP and others, but this is not relevant.)

Believe me, JavaScript can be a real head scratcher compared to C++.

And now for the purists: No, I don't use all features of C++, only the minimal necessary ones for the problem I have to solve. This ridiculous idea that you are not using C++ if you are not using every single language feature is what makes programs difficult to write and maintain.
