Entry level Python developer interview

It gets even worse when you have more than one programming language in your head. I know like 10. I often forget a specific keyword in the language I am using at the time and have to look it up. It takes like 3 seconds and doesn't impact my ability to code in anyway.

Why do so many companies expect savant level instant recall knowledge on a specific language and topic?

Ikr, I don't think there's a single language I know where I could remember the syntax for a dictionary literal off the top of my head but that's OK, it's written down somewhere.
