Yeah. Particularly after having learned 2 or 3 languages, learning the N+1th language is often the work of like an hour or three.
Learning the standard library, and the patterns it has encouraged in the community, takes years and is a moving target. Even a basic (accurate) "feel" for things generally takes weeks, regardless of how "simple" the language is. You might be able to produce code prior to that, but being able to predict where something should be, or how to find it, takes time.
