Also compared to other languages, C/C++ is also very difficult due to the low level, such as pointers, arrays, bounds, etc, etc. Some may have trouble grasping it, but I agree with you that once you get to know it, it's not a difficult language itself.
Hard concepts don't make for a hard language IMO. Some of the concepts I had to learn for Prolog and Lisp were difficult to put my head around, but that doesn't mean either language was difficult. Heck I know (and tutored) people who thought that the concepts in basic algebra was hard, that doesn't make the math language hard (at least at that level).
