Please realise that what is complex and hard for you might not be complex or hard for a senior engineer with 20+ years of experience in different languages and frameworks. I write compilers for a living and have written 3D game engines from scratch for commercial games. I learned JavaScript and delivering a complex 52 page web application written in Typescript and using React in 4 months. It was fun and easy compared to what I normally have to deal with. So please realise that your experience is very different from somebody with a lot of experience. I am not being snarky or arrogant. Just pointing out that different experiences shape how well you adapt to new tech.
