Ask HN: How do you switch between programming languages?

I am an amateur developer and bounce back and forth between Go and Typescript. Since I code in my free time, I usually do a week of Go, then maybe a few days of Python, and then back to Typescript. I find it difficult to switch between the grammar of the languages (especially ones that are rather close such as Go and TS) and spend a day pondering over bugs which are an extra colon, or a dot in the wrong line. Do you have any tricks/hacks to make the switch easier? — Note: by “close” I mean “visually close”: “func” vs “function”, stacked chained methods that either have their dot at the end of the previous line, or at the beginning on the next, single vs double quotes, types prefixed by a colon or not, …
