gollark: I don't think so. Things like variable names and formatting are *fairly* obvious, although you may need to read a decent sample of code in language X to learn what people generally do there regarding those, but stuff like what constructs are generally used for tasks in language X are not.

gollark: But working out things like "how is this styled" and "is this done idiomatically by someone who knows the language well" can require even deeper knowledge than just working out the algorithm.
gollark: If you're writing a thing you probably have a decent idea of the problem domain involved and what's going on, and just have to work out how to express that in code.
