The parse_programming_language function extracts OPTION elements without validation. If an OPTION element is missing the key or value attribute, the xpath will return nil, which will then be used in Map.new(&{&1.key, &1.value}). This could create map entries with nil keys or values. Consider adding filtering to skip OPTION elements with missing required attributes, or document the expected XML structure more explicitly. #1299

Potential issue: The `parse_programming_language` function extracts OPTION elements
without validation. If an OPTION element is missing the `key` or `value` attribute, the
xpath will return nil, which will then be used in `Map.new(&{&1.key, &1.value})`. This
could create map entries with nil keys or values. Consider adding filtering to skip
OPTION elements with missing required attributes, or document the expected XML structure
more explicitly.
