I don't see how. Being a blub language has nothing to do with ease of use for newcomers and in fact no language can be a blub language. It is more a reflection of the user. If all I know is imperative programming constructs because I've been writing C for 20 years and I start to learn Prolog but fail to understand what constraint logic programming is really about because I'm constantly trying to use imperative constructs in Prolog then I'm afflicted with the blub disease. Neither C nor Prolog is a blub language.
