Do you think there is a language better suited for solving data structures and algorithms?

To give you some backstory on why I am asking this question, I recently got my first dev job as a Front End Developer after graduating from a coding bootcamp this summer, studying MEAN stack. Although, this position is part-time and contract, I'm still job searching for a full-time role, as it's impossible to live in Seattle on part-time income. I'd like my next position to be full-stack and I know I need to strengthen my knowledge of data structures and algorithms (DS&A) to succeed during interviews. The only language I know is JavaScript.

Through my observations, it seems that many people do not code DS&A in JS. While I know people do, as I'm one of them, many resources on DS&A are in Java, C#, Python, or other languages.

Do you think there is a language that is better suited for solving DS&A? Maybe based on native methods or other reasons?

Also if you have any resources you'd like to share, other than Code Wars, HackerRank, LeetCode, Code Fights, I'd love to know!
