What I did last year was pick a language I had used before but wanted to brush up on, and that seemed to work out pretty well!
Good strategy! Not too little, not too much :)
I think the folks who make the leaderboard usually use languages they're pretty fluent with, though, so it depends on what your goals are, haha.
Yeah, I guess so too. Unless they are super fast learners. But it make sense, if you're in it to compete at the highest level, you want to have a head start using something you already know well.
I think I'll follow your strategy. I just have to decide which language :D
If you try a new or new-ish language, there's also a subreddit for the challenges, and people will post their solutions in the day thread, so if you get stuck you'll almost certainly have a reference for how to solve the puzzle unless you're working in something incredibly obscure—people do it in a lot of languages.
Great :) I've registered to the website, I'll probably have to choose a language and then I'll try a few examples from the previous years.
Thank you, Carly
