Appreciate the answer. I have read ZAMM.
I remember the quote about how the an artist making a painting isn't very different from a motorcycle mechanic maintaining a motorcycle. That ultimately it's about applied quality.

It's a pain to have to re-learn libraries and APIs, but new idioms are always interesting. It's also important not to get caught up in the tribal ego-driven BS, or bias that says one idiom is better than another because it happened to be the way things are done in a previous language or framework. Maybe that's a general problem, or maybe it's heightened in the software world because we're (statistically speaking) a bunch of overprivileged daiper-babies.
