Comment on Ask YC : What determines command of a programming language?

Comments

When you're first leaning languages, "command" of a language probably ends up being defined as a solid working knowledge of the syntax.

However, the real deal is when you understand the solution pattern suggested by the language. When you start to break down problems into objects, functions, or types before you even touch a keyboard, then you've really gotten somewhere.
