So you only use languages that have a built-in HTTP client, JSON / CSV / XML parsers, and such?

I’m not the person you asked, but given the choice I avoid a language without JSON parsing officially supported because I need that frequently. It’s the reason I never picked up Lua, despite being interested in it.

  • Interesting, thanks for sharing your anecdote. Upvoted.

    I am openly admitting I don't care. Such libraries are in a huge demand and every programming language ecosystem gains them quite early. So to me the risk of malicious code in them is negligibly small.
