How hard is it to code up a terraform provider if you haven't coded Go before?

I have been considering swapping some python scripts over to terraform but I'm concerned about the time it will take to learn Go and Terraform.

Anyone got some perspective on that?

If you've never used Go, then writing a Terraform provider is a really bad way to start learning.

Why do you think you need to write your own provider? Most people use the large ecosystem of prebuilt providers, and never write a single line of code
