Programming language for Google interview

I want to understand which language is most preferred for giving Google interview. I am good at pseduo code but need a linter or ide for writing compilable code in C# Java, ruby, javascript etc. Working currently in C# I would say as of now I am most comfortable in C#. Does using C# will be a disadvantage for me. Also please add your comments , suggestion who have experience with Google interview what do you think which is better.

Google interviewers don't compile your code but it should look compilable. Pseudo code is not acceptable. Assuming interview will be virtual, you will probably have to write code in Google doc.

Thank you for reply. How about If I choose any language let say C++ , will they ask language specific question or oops concepts in C++. Or they are happy if I am able to finish the coding part.

Use your most comfortable language (ideally it should have built-in library for common data structures you may use like heap etc). Interviewers don't care what language you use for general SWE roles. (for some specific roles like front-end/HFT, they might require you to code in JS/C++)

Even if it is assembly?
