Really interesting insights Poornima. In my experience, more than the coding itself, the biggest value I’ve found some from understanding “coding principles”, things that are universal to most programming languages — method definitions, variable handling, object encapsulation, looping algorithms, etc. Those are really valuable tools when talking to programmers, no matter what language they use now or in the future :)
