I disagree. I still find D _much_ easier than C++ even though C++ has 
tons of "standard" libraries and at least one passable IDE 
(SourceInsight; don't get me started on VS). Similarly, I would argue 
Ruby is easier than Perl, even though the latter has better 
libraries/development environments. Oh, and ML vs Scheme... yeah, I 
think the language has a lot to do with it.
