Creating algos with JavaScript

[moiscmigu]

Are algos python exclusive, has anyone tried it with another language like C or Javascript?

Currently, Python, Rust, and Java starterkits are available.

Some users have used work arounds to work in other languages. Here is one example, there are others on the forums.

Creating A Python Extension

It seems there has been a fair bit of interest regarding running algos in C++ and I want to talk about how I have done this, in a tutorial style since I think its something people could learn from. Now, for some disclaimers. I am quite new to this process and nothing I post should be taken as the “best” or even “correct” way to do things, this is merely what I have found and implemented. Second, @Thorn0906 continually reminds people that Rust is a fast and memory safe option for those willing to…

There is some serious work done on C++ starter algo,

And the forum post and people involved here:

C++ Starter Algo

Hi everyone, a little while ago there was a fair bit of interest in a starter-algo written in C++. Given this, and my personal interest in the project, I have started working on a repository to be part of the StarterKit for C++ algos. Now, I can’t guarantee that C1 will make it so you can compile C++ on their servers for submissions, but I asked and they didn’t tell me to go die so I take that as a good sign :). In all seriousness, if you are interested in contributing and have experience writ…

But as C1Rayn sad, this is not officially supported yet, and people using C++ are usually Terminal Veterans, with perfect understanding of the game. So starting with C++ might not be a great experience.

Even if you are not familiar with Python, Terminal is a great opportunity to learn it

I use JS daily and created a bot in javascript for another large competition, so was resistant to a using hyped up language with a silly name and weird indenting, but I do find using Python my code is smaller and easier to refactor and lists are easier to manipulate. This sounds like a paid promotion for microsoft but I found editting and debugging python v frustrating until I found VS Code.
