I'm getting serious about DSA preparation and trying to decide between Namaste DSA by Akshay Saini, which is a paid course, and Striver's DSA sheet available on YouTube for free. I really prefer coding in Python or JavaScript, as I'm not comfortable with Java or C++. Striver's videos use C++ which makes it tricky for me to follow along. Namaste DSA appears to be more conceptual and doesn't tie itself to a specific programming language, but I'm unsure if it's worth the investment. Has anyone had the chance to try both? Which one would you suggest for someone who wants to grasp strong concepts while coding in Python or JavaScript?

Honestly, you only need a solid DSA book like Cormen's 5th edition. Revisiting the same resource over time can really deepen your understanding, plus it covers all major concepts thoroughly. It might save you from getting overwhelmed with multiple courses.
If you want to stick with Indian tech educators, I’d say give Namaste DSA a try. It seems more focused on concepts which could be beneficial. Just make sure it aligns with your preferred coding languages!
I’d suggest checking out Neetcode instead of going for those two options. Their approach is quite straightforward and they have a lot of practical coding examples that might suit your Python/JS preference better.
