Although Arduino's programming language is based on C++, you won't be able to use all of its commands. But, you can still use objects in Arduino's IDE, which are a fundamental aspect of C++.

Arduino microcontrollers have added Python to the range of compatible programming languages. Others can be used, and not just Arduino's own IDE app.

Get an Arduino and teach yourself to program Programming is more than just picking a language and framework. Programming means understanding how code interacts with actual computer hardware.
