In my experience, it’s the ecosystem far more than the language that matters. How good is the documentation? How well designed are the standard libraries? How good is the tooling? Are there any great community libraries? Are these well documented? Is there a good place to find people online that are willing to help you solve problems? Learning a new syntax is trivial and takes a couple hours to a couple days. Learning the ecosystem of libraries and tools to know the best way to solve problems takes years. In general, I’ve found the best way to get started is to scratch an itch building something you want or need. Learning by doing is best.
