Thanks Karyme! I've thought about bootcamps many times before - what holds me back is the time commitment. I hold a non-tech 9-5 job and can't quite swing several months of no income. Lunch breaks and evenings for now will have to do. I take if you've found it worthwhile?

It's not the first language I tried (that was actually Ruby, in high school), but it's the first one I've built anything significant with so I'm considering it my "first" language. It rekindled my enthusiasm for the craft after years of waffling - I can't recommend it enough! The only issue is that now it's difficult to tear myself away - it's appropriate in a wide range of domains and it's hard to shake off the "well, I COULD be doing this in Rust!" feeling.
