Does anyone have a preference to which languages are the best to implement in, or is it more a case of what you're comfortable with?

I started the challenges in 2013 in Python, which I only have a very cursory knowledge of, so if there's an easier language to implement in (even if it's new to me), I would like to give it another go.

Python is the language most used by people who successfully finished all 6 sets, followed by Ruby, Java, and Go. Ruby and Python are both good because they have sane byte strings and automatically promote fixnums to bignums.
