I am developing a plug-in for chrome browser using python. I was trying to interact with the html page, and it was very frustrating, now I am using switching to JavaScript.
What I don't get is how did JavaScript become this power that you must use it to interact with the html page.

    There were no other one on browsers so they used javascript. Microsoft then deve-flopped JScript.

    Also don't browsers use only javascript in extensions? Python(or py-script) will just be a hell hole.

    That is what JS was designed to do. Of course the language makes it easy.

    Because Python is >> NOT << a front end language, and hence has no reason to be interacting with the DOM.

    Javascript, VBScript and ActiveX on the other hand are frontend languages , with only 1 of these still in use today.

    How I don't miss the other 2.

    @Ohiorenua that's as much as the frontend as ActionScript is 🤷‍♂️

    Hopefully, you're no longer using Java Applets 👀

    @Ohiorenua that Bastard has to Die.

    If anyone see it, kill on side. (rewrite code with html5 css3 vanillaJS).
