Jan 15 at 17:01 comment added Moo Thanks @Domen - that did the trick! It shows 7544 instead of 7538, but maybe that is due to some system related stuff with the OS and like, I suppose.
Jan 15 at 16:56 comment added Domen @Moo, Nasser's comment got misformated – you have to use a backtick before an asterisk: Names["System`*"]
Jan 15 at 16:21 comment added Moo @Nasser: Very odd, but for Length[Names["System*"]] I get 49 in both my installs of V 14.

Typo: V13.3.1 was meant (not V13.1).
Jan 15 at 13:18 comment added Domen The differences can be observed with: SymmetricDifference[EntityValue[EntityList["WolframLanguageSymbol"], "Name"], Names["System`*"]]
Jan 15 at 13:17 comment added Nasser I could never figure out how to use Entity stuff to only list built-in function. I.e. not including Symbols also, such as K and C and so on. Which are all in system context.
Jan 15 at 13:09 comment added Nasser May be the 6600 includes also experimental ones. For example on V 14, I get Length[Names["System*"]]` gives 7538 while in V 13.3.1 this gives 7478 but this includes everything in System context. Including experimental and everything else (not only built-in functions). To get list of new symbols/functions in V 14, the command is EntityList[EntityClass["WolframLanguageSymbol","VersionIntroduced"->14]] !Mathematica graphics
Jan 15 at 13:08 comment added flinty There are some things in Names["*"] that are missing from the entity list, for example deprecated functions like URLFetch and ToDate that have been replaced with new functions, functions like Into which have no documentation, and many other things like options, box forms, formal symbols etc. In that blog post, they must be counting some of these extra things.
