Sorta and as long as those new things aren’t relatively novel, I can agree with that. I do some JS every now and then, but Redux was a pretty novel solution to JS and so was React. At first, no one knew how difficult it would be to do certain things that were once easy. A lot of time was spent discovering best practices across the community. Were all these things new? No. Was the combinations of language, patterns and paradigms new, yes. It was relatively new. I had experience with event-oriented systems in C# at the time, but there was no way I could have predicted how hard it would be to make a simple form in React + Redux at the time.
