Stepping Down as Libxml2 Maintainer
Not to mention that libxml2 underlies things like nokogiri (the commonly used html parsing gem for ruby), beautifulsoup (python's equivalent), etc.

Pretty sure beautifulsoup uses python’s builtin html.parser but can optionally use html5lib or lxml if installed, and it is lxml, not beautifulsoup, that actually depends on libxml2.
You’re right about nokogiri, though.

Ah, you're right, in the codebase I'm familiar with lxml is used for performance, though it's not the default.
