At what point can you say you are experienced in x language?

I am consistently looking up function definitions and ... how to... for languages I worked with for years.

I'm not talking like 'how do I loop through data from a database' but something like 'which param goes where for this function'

Curious

Friend is wondering if he is a copy/paste dev... :/

    my ide likes to deal with all the API interfaces / what parameter goes where. does that make my ide a better programmer than me?

    It depends.

    The language and the core libraries are somewhat interdependent.

    If you know the syntax, I’d say you’re pretty much there.

    For the longest time I’ve avoided calling myself an F# developer, but I’ve started doing some real work on an F# product and realised I do actually know what I’m doing (for the most part).
