gollark: Generally people will probably read a quick summary or something at most.
gollark: I have seen that neat GPT-3 codegen video, but I find some of the GPT-3-related claims somewhat dubious since access to it seems very closed-off right now (ironic for "OpenAI").
gollark: You can just use sub/superscripts and Unicode arrows/other symbols, no?
gollark: I probably would just recommend Node.js or Python though, they're fairly easy to work with and have large ecosystems for web things.
gollark: Rust is neat and has decent web frameworks, but being a compiled strongly typed language is somewhat slower/more annoying to work with than Node/Python/whatever. And some of the stuff is still quite in flux.
