Maybe I should say that "If Flash Game Programming is meant for the brave, then C++ Game Programming is meant for the insane." But with things like XNA and Unity3D, is C++ really that necessary especially for an Indie?

However: "Programming, moreso Game Programming, and even moreso *Flash* Game Programming is really only meant for the brave" I'd actually say Flash game programming is an easier option when you compare it to C++ game programming. Something like OpenGL isn't so much a learning curve as a learning fist! Agreed! However:
