I generally use one of the top 5 most popular (i.e. mediocre) languages for interviews.No Scala, Rust, Haskell, Clojure etc.Your interviewer won't admit that they didn't understand your program. To preserve their ego, they will just claim that you are a bad programmer instead. Happened to me once with Scala.The Blub paradox works against you.

I failed to follow my own advice about interviews.

Next time, I'll just write Java. 🤷♂️
