… No one actually cares if you have 2-5 years of experience in the specific language. I’ve actually never had prior experience in the primary language of any role I’ve been hired for. At most I just tell the interviewer that my experience with the language is 1 week of reading an online intro guide, and then show my ability to just code in the interview. If I can’t make something compilable yet, most interviews are happy with pseudocode. But it really should only take a few days of prep to be able to make something compilable in any language.
