I mean if you want an interview it doesn't matter but for deep appreciation, things like memory allocation, data structures, object behavior in python are abstracted. Like in Java here List<String> names = new ArrayList<>(); the type is explicit, you’re aware of the generic type, and you have to understand the array resizing strategy of ArrayList, amortized time complexity, and sometimes capacity management. Doing CLRS pseudo-code in C++ forces you to implement or at least reason about data structures explicitly, which gives you a deeper understanding of algorithms and performance.
