Minecraft redstone is a terrible example. The idea of it is great, the implementation, not so much. It's super non obvious for a lot of thing, have got behaviour that changes based on location in the world, etc... It' not uncommon for people to dive into the code to figure out how redstone works or watching tutorials from people who have done so.
The only people who can use redstone are those who just memorize the standard gates and treat them as black boxes. That's no longer redstone then, that's just normal boolean logic stuff.
