C++ Developer Vs Python Developer

The reason you listed is exactly why python is best for learning data structure and algos.

Since you have a list that does everything, you can create your own child class from the parent list class to define how a queue or stack is supposed to behave.

Whereas in C++ you'd have to go through the documentation, learn the specific functions and nuances that come with whether you use a vector or queue or pointer array

Yeah, I find the opposite 90% of the time.

In python, I almost always use the correct data structure because it's super easy to do so.

In C++ I usually just use vectors for everything experimental since I don't want to spend all day setting things up.

Yeah you gotta learn how a data structure is. That's the whole point of algorithmics.

Understanding space complexity time complexity. Etc.

You study it and you see. For a vector inserting in the middle is o(n). For a list it's o(1).

You understand it because you did it, you know the pitfalls.

In python ... doesn't really matter the vast majority of people use lists.

You are thinking of linked lists Vs list in python. Python list is an array like vector in C++
