The longer you've programmed, the less time it takes.
But learning syntax and libraries is much different than (for lack of a better word) learning the "zen" of it. You could learn python and just write C-style code in it in a few hours, but it might take much much longer to change the way you look at and solve problems to match the strengths of a language.
