True, but not everything worthwhile is difficult. If a competent
programmer, knowing 20 distinct programming languages, needs to learn
a 21st for a project, it should be straight-forward to master it in a
short time (at least to the point of being able to muffle through -
doesn't mean s/he would know all the idioms of course). Learning ML is
certainly a big task, but learning some specific subpart of ML would
be doable, and then you learn another subpart, and another and
another, until you're employable.
