AMA with a Dfinity Engineer
It is learnable, but we definitely have a ways to go for making it approachable to beginners. I recommend using VSCode with the Motoko extension, and referencing examples, like the ones in https://github.com/dfinity/examples

Announcing: the Motoko Developer Experience Survey!
Honestly talking about "prettier" in 2022 is quite alarming. Specially when motoko already has an LSP that has the power to the exactly the same thing but would be compatible with all IDE. I'll never understand why it was initially created in OCaml. It was probably abandoned because of it. If anything a complete re-write in a more modern language would be more appropriate.

AMA: We are Andreas, Claudio, Christoph, Gabor, Ömer, and Yan from the Language Team. Ask us Anything about Motoko, a new programming language.
Motoko was open sourced this week, be sure to check it out! There is also a ton of knowledge about WebAssembly (Wasm) on the team, which is the binary instruction format of choice for the IC.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing examples and motoko you can also consider the following projects:
ic - Internet Computer blockchain source: the client/replica software run by nodes
motoko-base - The Motoko base library
reason - Simple, fast & type safe code that leverages the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems
