I don't want agree but I do. I think there might be an alternate to leet code studying. I did Advent of Code (AoC) in 2019 to learn a new language. I then did some interviewing, and remember a few things on leet code problems "oh, this just like this AoC problem" and applying the same skill set. So maybe doing AoC and solving funny Elf and Sleigh problems could be more fun? Maybe not as efficient though. ;)

AOC is way more engaging than any leetcode problems I've ever done, but I wonder if that's because I could choose whatever language I want or a feel allows me to best express the solution.

  Not sure what you're talking about; Leetcode also allows you to choose any language.

      Which one are you looking for? LC has 17 different languages available right now.

As a counterpoint, I did most of the recent AoC after grinding leetcode for work -- I felt like LC was much more efficient. I wouldn't prep for a serious job interview (FAANG) with just AoC.
