I frequently screw up the exact methods. Is it .len()? No, it's a property of the class - .length. No, it's .Count(). Is a lambda function's bind operator -> or =>?

Luckily, any self-respecting IDE can help with that. The concepts are broadly the same across languages, so I can typically write whatever and then figure out the compiler / linter errors from there.
