Why the fuck is learning a programming language so hard

>>26373467
Why wouldn't it be? Did you think programmers get paid a lot because their work is easy?

Because learning a skill takes work you fuckwit.

>>26373467
cause you have no reason to. the academic model of learning doesn't work.

>>26373467
It takes a certain level of thinking to understand how programming language work.

>>26373467
It's not - you're just stupid.

t. someone who learned how to program in one day

Ok, OP here. I already know how to program in Obj-C but have no idea how to switch to Java.

The IDE is so old and outdated (eclipse and AS) it's insane.
