My theory goes, it's part and parcel of phase 3 in the language adoption cycle: it's now what a lot of people learn straight out of college. It's really popular and quickly maturing - so lots of cool stuff that pays money is being built with it - but it hasn't crystallized into a morass of legacy work. Oh shucks, version 3 came out but it's largely incompatible with 50% of existing libraries, blah blah. If your main experience developing software came from tweaking wordpress or uni C++/Java 101 then that's totally a reasonable feeling to have - "my goodness I am so much more productive".
