The Scary Side of Frameworks/Languages

Since I started getting into web development, I’ve always wanted to learn Next.js/React.
But there was a problem…
I thought it was too hard

But 2 days ago, I decided that I should put in some effort to start learning Next.js/React.
Now, 2 days later, I’ve created a cool blogging website using Next.js and React following the official Next.js tutorial.

You can learn any language or framework if you put in some effort and really want to learn it!

What frameworks/languages do you think are too hard or can’t be bothered to learn?

Consistency is key! The more new things you learn (and master) the easier learning new things becomes.

Compounding interest of knowledge.

(Also, most of it is the same thing anyway)

Frameworks are scary at first, but luckily some have great documentation, tutorials, etc. to help anyone to get up to speed. Key is to be patient.

I'd say Unreal Engine. Is it really a framework or more like a platform? Anyway, I've been trying to understand it for several weeks, but have been unable to get anything working out of it.
Unity on the other hand feels much more accessible in that regard, until you go into things like entity component systems (ECS) and the multithreading stuff. It's been a while though since I've done anything with game engines, so maybe the Unity documentation has improved and maybe there are more things available now to work with ECS. Networking in Unity was also dramatic so I haven't even bothered trying it.

I get what you mean.
Good luck with Unreal Engine and Unity!

same! I thought next was too hard, but got into it. I'm still a beginner with it though tbh.
