There's learning idioms and there's learning idioms.

Learning idioms, as in gaining knowledge of idioms, in a natural language as well as programming language. I don't know that it is a specific skill, but it is definitely a general quality that is very useful in becoming productive in a new language. I have to think the two are related.

Made me think if idioms of learning. Will have to contemplate this. Generalized learning idioms might be useful in AI, but then might be useful in the real world, too, especially if you like to over-think things.
