How do you decide whether you know a language? Is it just knowing the syntax, or actively using it, or even being able to use it when called for? 🤔

You feel comfortable writing in it and you able to write idiomatic code

idiomatic* means that the code you wrote is seen as correct way of doing it or more like the "appreciate & preferred" way of writing the code by the overall community of that language.
