That doesn't sound right to me; APL's notation is not particularly difficult to learn, especially if you're familiar with existing basic math and programming language symbols. What's hard is grasping the underlying concept of array-based programming and using it to do useful work and solve problems. NumPy is popular because it piggy-backs on a popular, widely used, and free language which also does a lot more than array manipulation, if NumPy existed on its own then its notation would not be simpler to learn it would be bizarre.
