First off, don’t get discouraged by it, it happens to us all. I have 30 years of professional programming experience and I’ve used a dozen languages in depth and I find myself googling language syntax if I’ve been away from a language for a few months. Particularly “for” loops—they vary a lot between languages and it’s hard to remember which syntax any one language uses.
If you have a decent editor it should mark syntax errors as you type which is super helpful. I’ve absent mindedly typed “func” when I meant “fn” or “function” countless times and seeing it not get highlighted correctly or having the next line indented incorrectly usually tips me off before I run/compile it.
