Thanks a lot. The general hope of the question, was in that there may be people like me on HN who had a similar itch at around year 2-5 in their career.

In general, it's a low-risk decision, because it's only for personal enrichment. But time is precious at the moment and it would be quite a good bit of fun to hear from some people that simply ~love~ their language.

I know, I know.. questions like this can sometimes lack rigour and lead to a simple cheerleading fest, but I was hoping for a relatively lighthearted thread.

I am also convinced this is not an isolated feeling on my part, what I mean by that is, I'm sure this is a relatively common phenomenon among younger engineers who enjoy CS in and of itself, and I would be very interested in hearing what they have to say.

Thanks for the Zig recommendation!
