So algo sessions are done in either JS or Python. Generally with your preferred language but it could be done in either. The main point of sessions is to learn and practice how to think about problems, so the language doesn't matter that much. But you don't develop a JS expertise at Formation.
We do have frontend work you can that goes through for JS language practice, but similar to DS&A it's more practice focused than teaching focused.
So the TLDR is that you probably want to be somewhat familiar with it but to not worry or stress about being good at it before starting.
