12. Official Go font



-The Go programming language has an official font called "Go Font." It was created to complement the aesthetic of the Go language, ensuring clear and legible rendering of code. The font includes a monospace version for code and a proportional version for general text, supporting consistent look and readability in Go-related materials and development environments.

I found it interesting and/or weird, as Go is a programming language. Why should it bother having its own font? I have never seen another open-source project like Go do this. But I also like it. Maybe I will use it in the future for this blog :-)

16. Polyglots - programs written in multiple languages



-A coding polyglot is a program or script written so that it can be executed in multiple programming languages without modification. This is typically achieved by leveraging syntax overlaps or crafting valid and meaningful code in each targeted language. Polyglot programs are often created as a challenge or for demonstration purposes to showcase language similarities or clever coding techniques.
