Most people don't know jack squat about first and second laws of thermodynamics. Yet I don't see articles of kind: "why physics is so difficult to grok" or shit like that. They don't complain about it, because everyone, even ten year olds understand - any shit feels difficult until you learn that shit.

So what's your point? Physics is hard for those who don't know it? Butter is buttery, water makes things wet?

Any language is difficult at first. Nobody ever comes to any PL, opens random piece of code and goes like: "yup, I understand everything". It is called "code" for a reason, it's not "revelation", it takes some effort to grok it.
