I’ve written a fair amount of production code in a bunch of different languages and despite years of experience I still usually reference a syntax cheat sheet or something for most languages (python being an exception at this point).

Like others have said, keep at it and you’ll improve memory/recall over time. But if you don’t, that’s fine too. The ability to write code really fast with perfect recall of syntax is overrated IMO.
