I completely agree. It’s just fun to figure out so many little tricks people came up with and appreciate them and use tid-bits of knowledge on my projects. I’d usually go to meetups about these stuff. Learn a bit about them, get them to demonstrate, then I usually wait to see which one has a momentum for a year or so, and usually arrive a bit late if I have to use any “new stuff.” By then the eco-system is all set. Less surprises, and great IDE supports.
