Welcome to Syntax. Today we have here. We're going to try say it. Andrea Gimaki.

Probably goofed up. A really cool guy from Italy. And he's better known as web reflection on the web.

You've probably used one of his libraries at some point. There's one of the libraries specifically that I talk about all the time. It's called

link DOM, which is an implementation of the DOM that you can use server side. Very popular in

the web scraping world because you can you can parse HTML and then query it just like you were.

You would in the DOM. But I asked him to come on just because he's just

an endlessly interesting guy, always working on interesting projects. Specifically right now,

he's working on some stuff with running Python in the browser. He's worked on microcontroller

stuff, IoT stuff, lots of implementing web standards in

the browser before they have been fully available.

All kinds of really neat stuff.

I'll let them talk about it.

But welcome.

Thank you so much for coming on.

Well, thank you for a nice presentation.

I don't know where to start, but yes, I do write a lot of code. I forget sometimes I already

solve some issue, maybe I have again, and I forget to look at my GitHub repository. Oh, I solved

this before. Yeah, I wrote a lot of polyfields. If I want to give some background, I wrote polyfields for IE4, and that was a time where

IE4 would not support, try catch.

So either you wrote a perfect polyfill or knew exactly what to tackle there, or bad things happened. And then I-5 and all the AIE stuff. And so at the time,

I wasn't even doing front-end. I was doing backhand. And so I started as a PHP, my SQL developer.

Yeah. And I were doing regular stuff. But then it was also the Adobe Flash or Micromedia Flash at the time
