Sometimes, the coding language you're coding in can have a big impact on your leaderboard performance. For example, time isn't really on your side when you're coding in Assembly compared to someone who's coding in Python.

That's why Codeforces should add language-specific contests. Once you sign up you are asked for your preferred coding language between the ones available in normal contests (and it will also be a setting you can change).

It can be multi-select, so if you prefer more languages, all contests for each language will appear on the Contests page.

Most of the contests will be simultaneous (the ones which are available in multiple coding languages). And, of course, a contest will be locked only for its specific language.

Also, if a person joined multiple contests (which are the same contests but for different languages), rating will only be applied to the contest they performed the best in (just so we don't wake up with people who have 10k rating).

In this way, time won't be as relevant to a person's performance in a contest (unless some people have algorithms already implemented, but I'm already overthinking this, and that's just up to them, it shouldn't be restricted).

I'm not saying the Codeforces contest system is bad, it would just be a cool feature.

By the way, what was up with the previous Div 4 on the 9th of February? Is a new brain-rot era of Codeforces incoming?
