The other day my girlfriend said that i could learn French in two weeks and proceeded to be preplexed when I said that obviously I couldn't.

She actually believed that me being able to learn a programing language In a week or two meant I could do it with any language.

She is one special snowflake

tl;dr: yes, but vocabulary.

You could learn the syntax in two weeks without much difficulty. The issue is that French has a vastly different vocabulary, while most programming languages' lexicons are quite similar. The obvious outlier -- assembly -- takes much longer to pick up precisely because of its much larger and vastly different vocabulary.

@HRT-713 that she is

programing languages are far mire simplistic and direct

Bonjour.

She is keeper for sure 😊
Never. Let. Go... 🤗🤗
