Comment on Ask HN: How did you learn a new programming language as an experienced dev?

Comments

I do a quick overview of the syntax - I check out a syntax book, cheatsheet pages or the language documentation. Then I do the "Getting started" section. After that, I try to build a project. If it's a new one, I reduce the scope to be about one or 2 days worth of tinkering and a lot of readings of documentation and other codebases.
