libp2p looks useful but my problem with it (at a glance) has been, "how do I make this into a program?".

When I look at a list of ~10 different modules, and let's say I want to implement a secure chat program, I have no idea where to start. Is there a good primer on something like this?

There is a repo with simple examples to help get started - https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-examples

People in IRC channels - #libp2p @ freenode (or #ipfs) - should be able to answer most of your other questions

(I work for PL, on go-ipfs and occasionally libp2p)

This! It looks unbelievably promising, but still very much a work in progress, with no deploy-able examples. Can't wait to see what it turns into though
