> Isn't that just basic programmer knowledge. Basic in as "you need to learn the difference between a language and the environment its in". I don’t think the answer to this is boolean. For instance: > I can run C# in Unity. The number of functions I can call is vastly different than running it outside Unity. If one is learning both in tandem, coming from a background with a language with different scoping rules, knowing the distinction even exists and should be a consideration might not even show up in reading materials. Sure, it’s an important skill to learn, but it’s not especially transferable. I know how it works in some environments and still find it baffling in others where I even know how to read the code. (Example: Java treats methods as locally scoped functions; I still have no idea how to distinguish them without running the code in a debugger. But I don’t write Java! I have a limited understanding of what’s in scope reading it.)
