It's nothing compared to Python, I feel. I'm trying to get up to date there now, and just this week two different runtimes were announced. There are X different projects for type checking. Django isn't hot anymore, so there's now all kinds of smaller libraries to piece together instead. To get going you have to start messing with pyenv (not to be confused with pyvenv which is deprecated), venvs etc. The official tutorials leave much to be desired, lots of newer language features aren't even mentioned, and the docs act like a reference (which is understandable) but a bad learning tool, if you're lucky and not just being pointed to a technical PEP. Like, I know it has a syntax for decorators, but the only mention of that in the official docs I stumbled upon was the syntax definition of the language. Of all languages I've had to learn in my professional career, Python has been the hardest. Not because it's a hard language, but because I have to hunt for what to actually learn.
