I believe it's a comment about the complexity of the language, not the level of skill achievable using the language. Consider this (many levels left out for brevity):
A first-year CS student could implement a working LISP or assembler as part of their coursework
A motivated individual or small group could implement Ruby or Python in a few years in their free time.
AFAIK no organization has yet implemented C++11

Python's reference documentation doesn't suck, but neither is it a formal language standard. Lisp has an ISO standard, but it's way beyond what a first-year CS student could fully implement.
