Is it ok to use JavaScript to learn data structures and algorithms ?
I taught myself data structures using Cracking the Code Interviews (examples in Java) and Intro to Algorithms (generic pseudo codes. It took a long time and a lot of effort. Towards the end of my studies I found the Algorithms GitHub which I found helpful and the most similar to the resources I had been studying.

guiarstr VS C - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 24 Jul 2025
GuiarStr was built as a modern, lightweight alternative to older string manipulation libraries like sds. It focuses on simplicity, clean API, and zero dependencies while providing commonly needed features like trim, split, replace, tolower, and toupper.

Algorithms by Jeff Erickson (Free algorithms textbook)
I like the awesome-algorithms link, but some of the code linked is definitely not perfect. A few questionable things from one of the header files [0] in https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C:
- Defines a macro with no parentheses
- Uses unsigned for length and capacity (should be size_t)
- Uses () instead of (void) for an empty parameter list
- Useless use of "extern" for function declarations
- I think that leading double underscores and structures ending with _t are reserved identifiers, but I don't really have a good source for this
