Programing is easy for who has already learned it. The second language is easier to learn than the first one. I think that's why programers keep telling programing is easy.
I admit that the learning curve of programing is a little steep. But isn't every skills in the world the same? Think about the first time a child learn to walk, the first time a child learn to speak. No healthy adults think these things hard to do now.
The conclusion: the programing is just like any skills in the world, they are always hard for the new beginners but become easier and easier while you are getting familiar with them. Saying if it is statically hard or not isn't an accuracy statement.
