Switching between languages

The same principle applies when switching between different programming languages. When switching between projects, you need to juggle between different contexts; when switching between languages, you need to juggle between different syntax, data structures, and ecosystems. To demonstrate, the following table illustrates some key differences between Python and JavaScript:

 

In addition to syntactical differences, different languages may also follow different paradigms—Elixir is a functional language, whereas Java is an object-oriented (OO) language.

Therefore, context-switching between different languages also makes the development process very inefficient.
