learning Rust to get a deeper understanding seems like good advice. only problem is that the Rust compiler is much more pedantic than C and C++, so next to learning about things like pointers, you would also have to learn other concepts at the same time like the borrow checker. it doesn't have to be a problem though, but it's something to consider. also, i don't agree calling languages "higher", for lacking static typing. this is usually a bad thing

@platin2148 if you look at TypeScript or C#, then those have static type checking and lack pointers. but that doesn't mean that JavaScript is higher level, than those just because it lacks static type checking. static type checking is a separate issue

@platin2148 ok. but, what does that have to do with static type checking?
