I suspect it has more to do with people thinking they can't do it than any actual lack of ability to comprehend. Many people are intimidated by new ideas and think to themselves, "I'm a Java programmer. I shouldn't have to learn a new language." Other people would see it as an opportunity rather than a burden, even if they are otherwise both equally capable programmers, the second person will be able to pull it off. But unfortunately this kind of person is much rarer. > I mean, everyone in this forum managed to learn clojure to some degree > without too much trouble.. including me.
