I jump between languages a lot. I have to Google the most rudimentary things all the time. For the most part, I know what I need to do and how to do it, but remembering the exact function names and syntax for all the languages, libraries and frameworks I use is impossible.

I also strongly agree with what you have said. Its impossible to remember or memorize A-Z all the time about any thing.

Yeah, I find myself searching for standard library stuff all the time when I swap languages.

It's good to know how they work, but sometimes you get method or function names mixed up in your head.
