No, it's the same for everyone: unfamiliar things seem "wrong" until you internalize them.
Try working in Elixir for half a year - you'll see that the syntax you now find verbose is that way for a bunch of reasons, and you'll find that you have no problems at all reading Elixir code, including in big projects.
The problem is that confronting the unfamiliar doesn't feel nice for most people and that you can't really speed up the process. On the flip side, though, half a year of weekends is not that long of a time or significant an investment. Especially since you'll get quite a few generally helpful skills out of it (working with actors, for example).
