You Code Go Like You Code Java

A Funny Yet Familiar Story
I was once in a technical interview with a senior Java developer who shared a hilarious yet painfully relatable experience. At his company, developers weren't confined to just one or two languages; they had to jump between different languages depending on the project. One day, after a code review, a senior Go developer told him:
"You code Go as if you were coding Java." 😅
Oof. That hit hard. But it's also a perfect illustration of why languages aren't interchangeable.
