Ask HN: Learning your Nth programming language?

What resources do you use to learn the details of using a new language when you are competent in many other languages? Not the basics like class hierarchy, syntax, and loops, but more language unique stuff. Eg: - Compilation model: bytecode/native/whatever - Are there multiple implementations which are most used and why? - Package management and versioning - Common build tools - Concurrency/io model (async, os threads, green threads, etc) - Language-specific/more-common data structures - Sources of UB to aware of All the "Java for experienced developers" pages I find start by teaching me HelloWorld, move on to declaring variables, loops.... and never get to anything interesting.
