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**"

A decent rule of thumb is once you learn your second programming language, the rest are pretty easy.

I went from JavaScript to C#. After those classes at college, I was able to pick up python pretty easily.

There are some languages that do have a really unique take on coding, but for the most part, I would say once you're learned two languages you can pick up another language easily
