It's pretty damn easy to learn. I think what you mean is that for someone who comes from C-like languages, there's a lot you have to unlearn.


I disagree. The really poor feedback from the interpreter on errors makes it incredibly difficult to form an internal model of the language.

"Well, maybe it works this way.... no. damn. Well, maybe this way... no. damn."

By the time you get it right, you've gone through so many possible models in your head, it's just mush.
