I think there is a strong correlation between the number of Javascript programmers interested in algorithms and data structures and the number of C programmers interested in front-end frameworks.

C programmers love front-end development. The compiler front-end! :)

If it'll get me through the interview process I guess I can feign it.

Well, it's good resource. pleased by it. Can anyone suggest good Data structures and algorithms resource like this but not written in JavaScript?

Depending on what you are after, you may be better off implementing the code yourself.

You will learn much more than by simply seeing the entire code already implemented.

If you however need a strong implementation of some algorithm to use in production, you may want to search a robust library implementing it instead.

Do we really need yet another list of algorithms to memorize for interviews? Is another list going to make a better JavaScript engineer? Will help me understand JavaScript better? Will it help me on the job? Will it make me a faster and better React developer?

The obvious answer to all of the above rhetorical questions - fuck no.

That being said, it is still a topic of interviews, so I will up-vote bc this is pretty good implementation, even though this repo has been submitted to HN at least 4 times in the past.

Someone also mentioned Mnemonist [1] - that one is nice too.
