Yes that is true but I'm responding to the up stream comment saying "you are required to learn it if you are studying CS". There is a common perception that computer science degrees are about learning things like C++ but my experience is that most emphasise more abstract skills like data structures, algorithms, complexity, formal program design, etc.
Not at all. Computer science and engineering (I think this is different degrees in US but in Spain it was a BS + Master when I studied) is about algorithms, data structures, big O notation complexity in algorihtms, client/server architecture, hardware and assembly, understanding all the underlying math, networking, even HPC and advanced data structures when you keep choosing specialized subjects, but not learning a single tool for the sake of it for programming.
In fact, it is the least relevant part when you are studying. You learn tools better after you end the degree IMHO.
