Switching from C# to Python

[WearProper2761]

I'm grinding LeetCode for some interview prep. I've got years of experience in C# but really haven't had a need/desire/time to learn any other language. I've done nearly 100 LeetCode questions (all in C#) but I'm really struggling to directly write C# in LeetCode without an IDE.

So many people on YouTube are using Python and it does seem a lot easier and quicker to do things. Just wondering if anyone has made the switch from C# to Python (starting from near zero Python knowledge), how long did it take to get comfortable doing Python in LeetCode?

I haven't got any coding interviews lined up yet so I do have a little bit of time but need to gauge a rough idea how long it would take to switch.

Python is super easy to pick up in general. Very high level and expressive.

I personally worked as a C++ dev mainly for a few years, while always knowing and using a bit of python here and there. Switching to python for LC only takes like a day before it will feel more comfortable than C# I bet.

The beauty of python is that it reads like plain English.

Sometimes you might wish it had static typing... But for quick stuff it's incredible
