I'm glad you had that experience, but as a "2nd" language, it was rough for me because it was the uncanny valley of programming languages: things _almost_ worked like in other languages but were not syntatically distinct enough to easily keep them separate in my mind. It'd be like if some new regex decided "{}" was range and "[]" was repetition And we shall not discuss the horrors of its build and dependency system, which I appreciate isn't the "language" but what good is a programming language if one cannot compile it?
