So what is the advantage of using a language that is hard to learn and hard to understand?

  It's hard to learn, but not necessarily hard to understand. That hard learning experience theoretically pays dividends in productivity later as you and more succinctly and quickly express your intent.

    It's not hard to learn, as evidenced by all the people writing functioning perl after reading only a few scripts. It just takes a long time to learn entirely. ;)
