I disagree, the first case is discoverable, the second isn't at all. But apparently no one cares about discoverability of tools in 2021..

I mean the second case is generally discoverable for a programmer because there will documentation of a language or API. I believe people are generally aware of discoverability of documentation in 2021.

as someone who teaches programming in university, that's definitely not true, less than 1 in 20 students has the reflex of looking for any kind of documentation (even after showing it to them)

well I'm discussing what is easiest for working programmers, although it's true I do hear about there being a bunch of really bad ones out there so maybe I am just assuming too much.
