When languages "just become about syntax"

I have seen a lot of post saying "once I learned C - all other languages just became about syntax"

Has that been true for you? Or did a different language give you the eureka moment - e.g. something like Assembly?

Or is it just a false premise at all to think "once I learn programming language X - then all other languages become **easy**"

It's true. But it's not about learning a singular language very well. You need to learn the theory of how languages work and some other fundamentals and then most things for you will become mostly about syntax.
