However golang doesn't have that. So you get the danger of a dynamic language without the features that make powerful.
Very dynamic code shouldn’t be easy; the happy path should encourage clear, simple code. By encouraging people to stay on the happy path, their code is more performant, maintainable, etc and it keeps the average code quality quite high across the ecosystem.
C has void *, writing generic code using it is hell. Enough so that people went through a lot of trouble creating C++ and later Rust to escape it.
I'd say the type casting from interface{} to whatever you assume is in there qualifies as different.
Pretty much every single aspect of these languages is different from what I can see, the only thing they have in common is included batteries, the rest is growing popularity and consequences thereof.
