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 :-)
