Do you know if there is any open API for that? Last time I checked the API for doing pretty much anything else than play a specific song/album/playlist wasn't there. Maybe the API for books are different?

I'm a fresh graduate from uni so I'd say that I don't have that much experience. My last years working on the side of studies using Python really made me prefer strongly typed languages like Haskell, Rust, Elm etc. My experience is that the compiler almost always finds my small errors and would-be-bugs which Python exposes at runtime (crashes with e.g. None-type errors).

What would you say the benefits are with dynamic typing?

I've tried since I didn't want to accept their escape hatch when GDPR came and thus couldn't use their services anyway. Unfortunately they apparently drag out the deletion process so I haven't successfully deleted it as of yet.

It's actually worked out quite OK, I'm relying on a few friends updating me on what happens in some group chats right now but a lot of friends has already moved over to alternative chat platforms like Telegram, Signal, etc.

I haven't missed other parts of facebook like groups and events at all which is nice and I've never used IG or WhatsApp.
