> Switching to a simpler language like C lets you focus on the problem solving again, not solving language puzzles.

But you’re solving a puzzle in either case. Either with a solution you created yourself (much more rewarding!) or a premade one you pick off the shelf (higher chance of first time success, often less time involved)

Everything is a trade off.



I think libraries are a better place for this sort of code reuse than builtin language features though ;)


Distinction without a difference. Most of us are talking about "Provided by the language-ecosystem or not", not necessarily WHERE in that ecosystem it sits.
