But why do you need an alternative to node in the first place?

I wish there was a serious conversation on how a browser can be productivized and make actual profits. I think that model has the best chances of working out over the long-term in guarding user's privacy - at least for those users willing to pay for it.
Most (all?) companies which developed a browser have lax policies on data privacy. At most those are inline with major directives like GDPR. However, it's not in their best interest to protect / not leverage user data. So the real discussion should've been about the set of features that would attract a sufficiently large user base who would pay ~10$ per month subscription in order to make the model sustainable on the long-term.

I see, I never understood why quote data are so costly (read - aren't free).
So how does [name redacted] differentiate to others in the market - eg. Yahoo finance?

Last time I tried building a software around stocks, the major pain I had was the lack of affordable APIs that would give quotes in almost real time.
Almost all APIs I checked had a significant pricing. I'm wondering where does this website takes the data from and what's the price for it.

I think that this website gives a great study roadmap for computer science: https://teachyourselfcs.com
You should definitely consider choosing some topics from the and study them.

I think your native web components example is wrong, or more probably outdated.
Here's an example with the latest wc spec: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/sl...
But as far as I understand from the spec, sadly, you would still need a separate DSL that would leverage iterations, conditionals and other templating operations on top of web components.

I'm not sure if there's a bias in the results. But it seems that there shouldn't be any bias towards a particular programming language since they have an algorithm for computing the scores based on search queries on popular search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo! etc.
> Go moving from 54th to 13th most popular is pretty astonishing. I second that and although I've done a number of side projects using golang, if I want to make a presentation of the language , I wouldn't quite know for sure what are the best selling points.
I know it puts a great emphasis on concurrency and their model is rock solid and easy to reason about, but still, given that most of our work is web related and 95% of the time we have to manipulate various resources that persist to some database, I don't have a clear reason on why to choose go over php for example.
