As a developer, I've always been interested in programming languages and backend development. Over the years, I have found myself using web scraping for some of my projects, but I didn't like all of the long lines of setup code and other stuff that I had to do to get what might be a small piece of data. About 3 months ago, I started learning GraphQL for work and I was immediately taken aback by its simple but powerful declarative syntax. Inspired by this, I used the motivation I had from my studies and used it to design what in the end would become Scrapeium. In my opinion, the most powerful software is the most simple one, and that is one of the main principles I had in mind when creating this language. It is powerful enough to meet the needs of any web scraping needs and can easily replace long backend code with short simple queries. Right now, it is only available as a demo on the Scrapeium website but I do intend on making it compatible with the backend and releasing it as a separate package. It's still very much in active development so please feel free to provide any feedback or suggestions you may have! Thank you very much!
