I've noticed the opposite: people who had never even started learning to program who are now getting stuck in because they don't have to wade through six months of weird error messages about missing semicolons to get started.

But I guess I'm talking about complete newbie developers, which is a different category from junior developers.

I have 25+ years experience at this point so I'm pretty far removed from truly understanding how this stuff benefits newcomers!
