This is especially true if you are teaching yourself new programming languages. I'm currently learning Elixir because it looks fun. I've learned the syntax and stuff but I'm having a hard time learning OTP/BEAM/processes/etc because well, the most advanced thing I've done is a collage image generator in Node. I just don't feel like I need it (though I'm gonna try my hardest to!).
It's the same thing with all these functional languages like Elm and ClojureScript. I've had fun playing with them, but I've only been seriously programming for fun for a year and a half. I haven't had the pain of managing state in a large application that the people that hype those languages have.
