Programming would be easier if the language were uniquely suited to solving the problem (e.g. more built in solutions). In general, it is harder than it seems it should be because to create a language that is actually useful to a wide variety of applications, it needs to operate at a sufficiently low level so that you have the greatest equilibrium between ease of writing and function.
Can it be made easier? As a pmb said, not if the problems we are trying to solve are becoming more and more complex. But that's ok since only a limited number of people are actually interested enough (and dare I say capable) of programming. That might be a good thing though since the result is higher quality code/solutions.
