Many of us fall into that basket (tcl/tk being an unknown quantity), 
Myself included.  Although i find that by looking at what is there 
already, and using a good reference, the arcane nature of its syntax 
becomes understandable.  I tend to say "what do i need to do" and "what 
can i find that looks like it does this for some other purpose, that i 
can adapt".  I tend to achieve most of what i want with this method.
