This is the pro/con of making systems programming more accessible. You're getting a lot of new developers without a lot of experience wanting to start learning a powerful new system. This often means making something semi-useful to get started, and hoping to contribute at least _something_ for the effort.

The downside is that there's definitely a learning curve and you get packages like this early in the process. The upside is that it's bringing a whole bunch of new people in who are willing (and increasingly more able over time as they learn) to help write new open-source software.
