It is realy hard to attend in this coding competition with Javacript. Main problem is reading data from node.js console happens asynchronously, so to solve a simple problem, competitor needs to deal with a complex async/callback pattern to just read the data. Also there are some additional javascript limitations like maximum 53bits for aritmatic operations, there is bigInt type in javascript but is not fast enough for a competition.
This prevents competitors using javascript for this competition. However, I believe if this non-relevant problem fixed, taking advantage of a rich high-level language like Javascript can potentially leed to a winning strategy.
