Since when did learning a language stop being a big investment? Beyond syntax there are idioms, idiosyncrasies, standard libraries, advanced features, upstream features, and toolchains.
How many people do you know have full understanding of C++ or Haskell? Or even Ruby or Python?
- boyter 15y agoDon't forget debugging and reading error messages. I honestly believe that 90% of learning any language is learning how to solve errors when the compiler or run-time spits them out at you.
