I have done a lot of interviews, and also been interviewed a few times. I think: - Interviews are significantly easier in a higher level language. You will get more done in less time in Python than C in general. Also less tripwires I think. - Even more important, choose a language you know really well. If you can pick the language I will assume you pick one you know well, so if you don't know something basic that is a major red flag. So I think learning a new language for interviews is a bad idea. Use it on some hobby projects first at least.
