It's interesting you mention junior engineers. My experience is the complete opposite, it's people who have been programming for many years who hate learning stuff like this and want to stick to their comfortable way of programming, whereas those who have programmed for fewer years enjoy learning about this and actually have fun doing so.

Perhaps unsurprisingly the author of this library looks to have only a few years of experience themselves.

It may be fun, yes, but I've found that experienced engineers aren't eschewing libraries like this because they hate fun and learning new things.

Rather, it's because experience has taught them that the looks-cool slightly-magical stuff like this is hard to maintain once a codebase reaches a certain size, and maintainable code is boring and obvious.
