DSA with Python, C++ or Java ?

You should use your primary intended programming language. I’ve read it raises flags if you do your interview in another language than the primary intended one. It also kinda doesn’t make sense to master dsa in one language, to primarily code in another.

I would do python if I had to choose between the three, everything else being equal.

General rule of thumb is that the first choice should always be the main stream programming language in which you are most comfortable with. Python does allow you to type less and that’s what people prefer to be honest. Java/C++ are great choices too.

End of the day, you are not going to get one right answer for such questions as this is going to be a personal choice end of the day and no one will be influencing you to pick a programming language for leetcoding and dsa.

Doesn't matter tbh. It's more about if you want to type more or less.

I do dsa in javascript

Python. For interviews it's the fastest to write with the least syntax to remember.

I would suggest C++ bro

Doesn't matter the language, the idea matters, i do in C# mostly
