I often pick languages or modules to learn for the easier puzzles, or even languages that should be hard too challenge myself. 2 years ago I used bash and CLI apps for the first five levels. And I've forced myself to get better at numpy and pandas too before I knew then as well.

TLDR: user it as an opportunity to learn.
