I started learning when I was 9. I think to some extent it was easier back then in the 80ies because computers were relatively simple machines. On the other hand I also had to learn English at the same time to be able to read manuals and programming books etc. So I think it must be possible because even if I saw the word “syntax” I doubt I had a full grasp of what it means.
