But as was noted earlier - the OP's question concerned how hard RPG was to
learn. Not whether it was easier to perform certain tasks. And it is easy to
learn.

... I don't think so, there are some points, making it hard to learn:
- no reserved words
- strange dialects, tolerated by the compiler (cycle programming, level
breaks, MR ...)
- complicated compile-bind
- compiler creating programms, that could not run (weak type checking)
- storage description in datastructure (I call it binary huddle)
- no "state of the art" IDE (RDI is just a joke, compared to Java - Eclipse
or visual studio)
- strange datatypes (int with scale and precision)
