I've done some of the problems in R. Vectorized-by-default can avoid a lot of boilerplate. And for problems that aren't in R's happy path, I learn how to optimize in the language. And then I try to make those optimizations non-hideous to read.
My wife did one of the years in Matlab. Some of the problems translate very nicely into vectors and matrices.
