Best programming language for competitive programming?
I only use codechef.com and there the most popular seems to be C / C++
AFAIK all problems are designed so that they can be solved in any language, provided you choose the right algorithm and data structures.

I'm assuming it's faster to type in Python for timed competitions right?
What about if efficiency was also considered? Is C++ more efficient than Python and other languages? Is there anything that is more efficient than C++ when it comes to general computation and programming?

C++ might be the fastest, but it's rather bare bones which is a problem when you can't use external libraries.
Imagine a problem where you need to deal with really big numbers. Java C# and maybe others have BigIntenger classes, in C++ you have to implement your own logic which takes time.
