What happens? You do it. That's what a programmer does. That's what many programmers out there in the world do. That is called programming. If you can't do it because Python is dumbing you down, that is your limitation. Don't blame the language for your shortcomings.
On the other hand, if this is currently being a problem to you, then it clearly shows you are not ready yet. Your C or C++ knowledge hasn't matured enough for you to start dabbling in other programming languages. Better consolidate your C or C++ first.
