But you can't choose that other are not using them. If you read other peoples code, and beginner will do that a lot at some point, then you will likely encounter unknown syntax. Good if you read if for that purpose, bad if you just wanna enhance/fix the code.
- ledauphin 6y agois unknown syntax that much more of an issue than unknown function/library calls? I very much doubt it. If it were, the industry would have settled on languages with way less syntax a while ago, e.g. Clojure. At least with unknown syntax there's usually some kind of keyword you can look up with Google. It's generally the non-syntactic sorts of unknowns that are much harder to figure out for a given codebase.
- fulafel 6y agoIt's a much easier to look up library functions than language keywords in Python docs, and it's one of the first things Python programmers learn.
