Surely "to run the program from source, you need to know how to build/run it" applies to every language. But I'm more comfortable working through problems I might encounter in languages I've worked with, than in languages I'm not familiar with. I'd say Python is notorious, since you're probably going to hear about at least six or seven ways people are able to run things; so if you're not familiar with it, you're likely to do something wrong. -- e.g. elsewhere in this thread, you've pointed out that stuff should be run from a venv; that's something you have to know.
