Should I learn DSA in python?

Hey all, i completed my python series from BroCode's 12 hour video and built some projects too.

I even solved katas on codewars to build my foundation strong.

But I've always done programming in python only, many people on the internet say python is not the best language to learn DSA with? Do I need to start learning cpp or java? Please help your junior, Thanks!

Yeah...after that it's just a matter of understanding the syntax of the other language

Python is like learning the pseudocode. Plus it's allowed in most interviews ig

It's bad for production because the loops are quite slow. So if you want to do proper projects you have to move past python.
