I think that is actually what they’ve already been doing for at least a decade?

Whenever you download a youtube video using something other than a js-enabled browser, then I think something like yt-dlp’s jsinterp.py needs to evaluate some javascript to extract the key.

This is an irritating meme.

Were people saying PHP was dead in 1995, the year it was released? I guess maybe?

But who was suggesting abandoning PHP for Django in 2003, two years before the latter was publicly released? I suppose the person who made this must’ve read that Django development started in 2003 and gone with that; most of these years correspond with when the respective project started.

So, the reason Perl (which remained more popular for web development than PHP or any of these things into the early 2000s) isn’t on the list must be because it actually predates PHP.

But then what is up with Python in 2022?
