Sometimes I am an early adopter and I get myself playing around with unfinished technologies, some random examples

  • websocket draft 10 and HTML5 Canvas when IE9 was new
  • Sphero (the ball) nodeJS API
  • sone Unity3D beta SKDs

The experience was pretty rough, involving a lot of try&catch, but when you have access to the source code is a lot better, considering is written at a OK quality. Nevertheless it was fun.

The opposite effect I had when I adopted a more mature and popular tech like Go and React (in 2017-2018) , everything I needed were in their docs.
