Are you actually learning X when your lang has strong and easy to use primitives for that, so you dont have to understand how does it work?

You are just learning tool like Excel

Yeah for example I can’t think of a better way to teach yourself to understand and use structured concurrency than a language like Cilk which naturally drives you in that direction. I actually started a PhD on how language design shapes the way you think about concepts (but finished it on implementation instead.)
