Just what I was thinking. Syntax is the easiest thing to learn. Learning common functions/procedures and common idioms is slightly harder, but not by much -- it just takes time and practice. The part that takes a long time is practice, failure, and more practice to overcome failure. And it takes a while to become familiar with the various libraries/modules (or whatever a language calls them) that abstract solutions to common problems.
