I would like to point out one *key* point from the standpoint of this competition. Code performance (time / space complexity) is not a criteria for judgement at least not for the initial few rounds, how quickly you are able to solve & submit an accurate solution is what determines your performance. So once again, the choice of language should not be made in order to try to have better performance, but to be able to solve problems quickly, and so I suggest you to code in a programming language you are most comfortable with.
