I don't think it's much more worse than the POV SDL, actually. Of 
course, I haven't gotten into class programming (yet), so maybe I'm in 
the dark about how hard C++ really is. There are really only a few ways 
you can mess things up badly.

You could always try Euphoria. There are some OpenGL wrappers for that 
language. Easy dynamic arrays make Euphoria more fun than C++, and you 
don't even have to compile the code if you don't want to. EU is a very 
fast interpretive language, and even supports C++ style operations (ei. 
var+=2). I left EU because the SVGA library I was using depended on DOS, 
and when I switched to XP... well you get the picture :(
