One thing I’ve found helpful is relying less on understanding the syntax itself and more on validating behavior at the system level. Even if I don’t know the language well, I can still focus on things like test coverage, edge cases, performance patterns, and whether the architecture follows familiar design principles. In that sense it ends up feeling more like auditing a black box than reviewing code line by line.
Probably both. The concepts themselves don’t seem entirely new, but execution and timing matter a lot. Sometimes the real breakthrough isn’t the idea itself, but when the surrounding ecosystem finally makes it viable.
