This is your brain on java.

  Good reflex, but nope! I don't write Java anymore and possibly never will again. I think the point stands on it's own, regardless of language. This is basically why I don't like Java -- it's so uncomfortable that it puts people off of types for the rest of their lives. Languages with good, ergonomic type systems are out there, that don't have the needless ceremony and expended effort of Java and people pass over them at their own peril. The wider trend is also coming back to statically checked types -- Python's typing module, Ruby's Sorbet, the ever growing popularity of Typescript, etc.

    In general I find that people restrict the idea of "interface" too much. If it has a downstream user / client, it is an interface despite not being `interface X`. This becomes very obvious in a language like Rust where you are encouraged to use concrete types as your 'interface' to downstream clients / consumers / library users.
