Perhaps you are writing different kinds of code in each.
For example, when I'm writing C, I'm usually just using the standard library and maybe a couple of OS routines. It's especially the case because I'm usually writing C in the context of a compiler, which is as close to a pure function of input to output as most programming gets.
On the other hand, when I'm writing in a higher level language, I'm tackling bigger problems and using far, far more third-party code. That's where the occasional documentation lookups and odd errors come in.
