I have been using Javascript to solve DA questions recently and this question has evolved a few times like should i do this in any other language but after reading this I will continue with JS as its a beautiful language and i am very much comfortable with it. Thank you for the post Tanay! 👍

Okay, After reading this I am 100% sure that I am going to leave C++ behind and Keep going with JavaScript for PS/DS. It was like I am in love with JavaScript but due to Peer Pressure, I am getting married to C++. Thank you!

I actually started Js recently and had same thoughts.

Really loved the way you presented it and put your thoughts with proper explanation.

These newsletters are worth subscription.

Thankyou Tanay Sir, this was one thing I had thought of always but never got clarifications earlier. I wanted to do DS in JS, but always thought whether that is acceptable or not. Thanks to you, that I've got some relief now.

What more clarifications do you need? I’m open to questions. Will answer in future letters.

Sir whenever I tried to learn DS in JS, first thing was that never got a proper resource. It is available but in other languages. Also, there are companies which don't allow solving questions in JS, in options even C++, Java, Python is available. So because of all this, I had doubt whether to stick to JS or not, no matter how much I liked it. But, thankfully you came up with this newsletter which was most needed. 🙌☺️

I can more easily implement Binary search in Js than C++ but I l always thought that nobody asks DSA questions in Js. This letter is really good and making me feel good that I can do that. Really good.
