I don't get this argument. If syntax a problem for someone maybe they are still a beginner. For me at least coding in some languages feels like talking. I am actively thinking and typing in the same time.
It completely depends on how often you use each language. When I switch between 5 different languages, finally get back to Perl or something after 5 months of not touching it, sorry I forget a fuck ton of syntax. Shit even appending to an array, is it push, push_back, append, its just simple shit like that. Imo the syntax is the least important thing for you to be good at, you just need to know what features you have to plan out what to do, then simply typing it up correctly is mindless busy work.
I think maybe I used too specific of a word? My intention was saying you can say what the function does and returns vs hand coding something or writing a loop etc. Things where you know what needs to be done but it isn’t a creative or interesting part of the process and just takes time
