I checked the tutorials section on Legion's site, they don't seem to be very inviting for a stranger. Is there a better site that would help me grasp basic idea

  First, I'll say: if you have any suggestions for how to improve the tutorials and documentation in general, we'd be happy to hear them. Even years into the project, we're still learning how to teach Legion. We're an open source project and would be happy to accept contributions, but even a set of first impressions would help. As for what resources exist today: If a video format would help, the bootcamp [1] has a more gentle on-ramp (despite the name). If you'd prefer text, there is also a language called Regent. The ideas are all the same, but the code does a much better job of expressing those core concepts. You could study Regent, but write all your code in C++ if you want. Even if you never write code in it, we've found Regent can be a better way to learn. And Regent has a tutorial [2].
