I find programming in C++ harder than other languages. (Clojure, Common Lisp, Python, Ruby, Erlang, Haskell).

In terms of programming language difficulty, 'hard' and PITA are the same thing.

The real 'difficulty' in programming comes from learning the domain that you are working in well enough to express it to the idiot computer.

That said, I find expressing myself easier in languages that are less of a PITA.
