dear websites that don’t load without javascript
fuck you
@icedquinn web apps should use javascript; that's what it is for, and it is a decent language. But the VAST majority of websites are not web apps, and shouldn't try to be.
@worldsendless it's just a forums. but you can't even view a page without javascript. which means now i gotta wrangle selenium or puppeteer which is obnoxious
@icedquinn sounds like you are trying to scrape stuff, if you need automation tools?
@icedquinn They must really not want you scraping them!
@worldsendless nah its issues getting the webdrivers to work. i guess the julia lib i found doesn't quite work

@icedquinn How is Julia? That's one of those languages where I wouldn't even recognize its code of it was before me. Still the best for numerics, or are Go or Rust in the running? Or possibly even Python?
