Programming languages weren't designed keeping beginner friendliness in mind. Everytime you feel like "I don't get it. Maybe I am not meant for this" remember that most of the great programmers and engineers have gone through that.
This field is very very new (when compared to other Engineering disciplines). People are still trying to figure out the right ways to do things and they are changing every day.
Edit: Another important point, when learning a new language or framework, make sure to have a project or idea you would like to build with it and work towards it. Most of the learning (and retention) happens while building an app.
Note: Of course, there are languages like Elm and Elixir who prioritise making compiler messages more understandable and helpful.
Yep, I think it's important to have a project or idea and the patience to work on a basic default app, like a dummy blog. I found myself too willing to skip steps early on when too much of my attention was focused on the project.
Balance is 🔑
