I went from MacBook Air to Pro mainly for the sake of a dedicated, dongle-free HDMI port. Your mileage may vary, but I found USB just too unreliable when going from place to place for speaking and training engagements, to the point that it

I sometimes think it would be fun to do “do: ... where:/while/until”, wherein the “where” part does local bindings.

Oh, SQLModel [1] looks interesting – hadn't seen that before. For apps with html front ends, are people replacing WTForms? [1] https://github.com/fastapi/sqlmodel

Unless the title is internationalised somehow (possible, but I doubt it), it's "4.76" in the original article. That's what happens when submitters editorialise ;-)

Ha! That seems to answer my next question: what’s its story for web development? Does it have one?
