What's a good way to meet other C, C++, and C# developers? As a newer developers not working for an office, I'm having a very hard time. Whenever I search the net for developers and communities, I am bombarded with this web development "learn to code" crap that I don't want. I don't want to be a front-end web developer, I don't want to be a JavaScript developer. I want to be either a back-end developer, embedded system developer, or desktop developer. I have not put my sights specifically on game development, but seeing as it involves more math and science, it may eventually be my cup of tea as that is where my interest lies, rather than moving HTML elements around the page in a hackjob manner with no real software engineering principles whatsoever.
I currently know and use C# on a daily basis, but I have also studied and have recently used C++ and C. I'm looking for: Projects to work on, communities to become active in, and others to work with. Thank you.
Things I've tried: Searching for local meetup groups (no C++/C exists within 25 miles of here), Googling, checking around forums the best I could.
