I've heard this so often. Thanks for sharing :)

I find going back to other languages and trying to read other people's code is a trial. There's always the temptation to write "smart" code that is terse but takes a lot of parsing to understand.

I love that I can pick up anyone's Go code and it's going to make sense almost immediately because everything is explicit, and laid out the same way (including that rhythm of "do the thing, test the error, do the thing, test the error")
