Please don't say the new language you're being asked to learn is "unintuitive". That's just a rude word for "not yet familiar to me".
Yeah. I've written in six or so different languages and am using Go now for the first time. Even then, I'm trying to be optimistic and acknowledge things are just different or annoying for me. It doesn't mean anything is wrong with the language.
Similarly, in my typing class, they'd have you type the same paragraph a few times. The program didn't notice copy and paste.
