I don't know who you are responding to, or what they said to give you the 
impression that they believe that all differences between languages is 
*merely* syntactic sugar, but I certainly don't believe that.

In fact, given that you haven't quoted anyone, I'm tempted to call it a 
straw-man, except you don't appear to be arguing against anyone, so there 
is nobody it could be a straw-man of :-)
