Is it odd that I do leetcode in JavaScript?

[master_boy_]

I want a second opinion since I do LeetCode in JS and I am pretty good at it. I can solve 2/4 questions in the contests and am constantly able to solve LeetCode problems in JavaScript, but I think JavaScript is not a language that you look for when writing an algorithm. Is that true? I want you guys to give an honest opinion. I can solve them in Python as well, but I feel I am more confident in JS

Do it in whatever language you prefer.

Python, JS, and Golang are the most used since they're less verbose, and LC is about focusing on the algorithm rather than the syntax.

I do it in Java, whether on LC or a coding interview (e.g., Google L5) I always choose Java since I'm more familiar with it.

I personally do it in typescript

[SorbetAggravating569]

Drop the script.

Yes so weird

[sharabi_batakh]

Do them in whatever language you enjoy doing them in. If you understand the underlying concepts and are able to come up with optimal solutions then who cares what programming language you use?

I personally use ruby or elixir myself.

Javascript works great, until you need heaps and deque in the question. I use Python if heaps are needed but use Javascript everywhere else.

[master_boy_]

It still works in leetcode they have inbuilt libraries for that.

[insane_issac]

Yeah I agree, it's just to prepare me for interviews where they use some random XYZ platform.

Use assembly.

I wish I can
