Hi Amit, I also will confirm that choosing a language is just a matter of choice and you can choose for every problem separately. So I am not going to advice you about this code jam. Still if you prefer loosely typed language I would recommend you either python or Ruby (though the latter has some major performance issues). I even know of people competing mainly in Haskel and qualifying in the finals. All those have better support for data structures and many algorithms already implemented. I am not that good in javascript but I strongly feel that all those are better choice for following code jams.
Good luck! Boris 2010/4/27 Amit Agarwal <[email protected]> > I see most of the people choosing between C/C++/Java. > Any one out here who is going with Javascript?
