What second language to learn after Python?
Well, regarding HTML5, what I've found was libxml (does not support tag-soup HTML5), https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor, for which I was unable to find good documentation ( see https://lexbor.com/docs/lexbor/#dom), Apache Xerces (appears to not support tag-soup HTML5 as well), and Gumbo, which does not appear to be active and to support selectors and XPath (although there are libraries that add that).

Web Scraping with C++
It uses libcurl and gumbo (https://github.com/google/gumbo-parser). Gumbo is apparently written in pure C99 (interestingly Curl is written in the even older C89 standard). Will've been more amusing if article was written considering that and used C99.

The computers are fast, but you don't know it
> A standards compliant HTML5 parser is at the bare minimum millions of lines of code.
But https://github.com/google/gumbo-parser is only 34K lines?

Markup Language Operations in Nim to extract and remove el
oops... I saw a markup parser and automatically thought XML, but you are right! HTML is actually a whole different beast!
As it turns out, seems like nim also has an html parser [1], but I'm guessing something like Google's gumbo [2] could be more reliable, but you would have to write bindings for nim.

Does anyone know of an HTML parser written in C++ that has Node.js interface?
I haven't used any of them, but there's a few wrappers available for Gumbo.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Xerces-C++ and gumbo-parser you can also consider the following projects:
