Really, that is surprising to hear. There are a couple of differences but most of the syntax looks the same to me, what part do you find alien?

The reskill problem is of similiar difficulty with learning a new framework I think. Especially because the language is rather simple compared to typescript (which is also its strength).

I do understand it is an uphill battle. The whole nobody get's fired for choosing IBM thing. The language is still unproven in the general perception. I do think that when it comes to libraries and frameworks I see a lot of developers choose new unproven stuff, more then they do languages.
