You have to deal with the syntax of a language regardless.
It's a lot easier to deal with that once you've learned how to program. This is why more experienced developers have an easier time picking up a new language.
They already know what purpose an if statement has or how to combine a few conditions and a loop to do xyz. These are things much easier learned in an environment that scratch provides you.
