No one should be learning Vimscript at this point. That language should have died a long time ago.
A new user coming to the Vim ecosystem in 2023 would be best served by using Neovim with Lua.

Vim now has vim9 script which is fully integrated and is actually very pleasant to use. It’s like a watered down TypeScript.

Vimscript is still really great for making edits and automating odd little things. I find it especially useful for refactoring
