Yet each language does have defining characteristics, and you work differently in different languages. I regularly write both Rust and JavaScript, and I will design and architect things quite differently between the languages, playing to the strengths of each language. So languages are fairly tribal in this way, and in others also once you add the rest of their ecosystem.

Code that is written in one language in the style of another can be "interesting" - I once ported code that was Common Lisp written in the style of Occam... Also saw C sources that did the cpp thing of trying to make C look like Pascal, fortunately managed to avoid working on that!
