When you're ready to set it aside and learn something else. If you're not learning the language, move on to something else. This is the difference between a poser and a real developer.
- klibertp 14y agoI'm not sure (yet) how this site works, and especially how comments are (up/down)voted, but I noticed that this one (parent) is displayed in grey-ish font. Does that mean it was downvoted? If so, I disagree with whoever did this. My opinion is exactly the same: you know a language when don't have to learn it while doing some useful work in it. And yes, it's the best time to move on or else you'll become bored quickly. And yes - whoever stops learning programming (with this language, that framework or other library) at some point ceases to be a developer (in my eyes) and there is a high chance that he never really was one.
- sp4rki 14y agoI agree. You can say you "learned" a language when you can solve problems with it (because you've already "learned" programming as a whole) and you can actually think in the language (and it's specific features) to the point that further instruction on said language is not really "learning", but more akin to continuous mastery.
