There's nothing similar about Java's and Go's interfaces, except the name. Java interfaces must be implemented explicitly (they're nominal ). Go interfaces are automatically satisfied by any type that declares matching

What other languages of comparable popularity do you know that had concurrency similar to Go's, and interfaces? Actually, name just one that has either, even today!
