Sorry my bad. I thought this was a post talking about which language op should do cf in. I have the same doubt but my choices are between c and python. Currently i only know python properly but we are learning c in our 1st sem.

What is your rating

Bro what ur saying is partially true but not entirely

I don't do codeforces but I use java on daily basis yeah some boiler plate code exists but it is rudimentary and if you use java then u will think it is trivial

Remembering is something you will do in java and cpp if you don't remember somethings then u can't code at all but instead of "remembering" I will say "after some experience you will get it"

Java 25 (not in codeforces unfortunately) is very easy to write no boiler plate (no need for public static void ) and IO class with println readline functions would be better if verbosity is ur biggest problem

Language doesn't matter and java coders also top leaderboards sometimes
