funny, i knew it was rust by just looking at the title. i am by no means a rust user but Async_executors tells it away. rust has that careless and inconsistent casing that has always bothered me. but maybe it's just me...

yep. same strategy. if it doesn't show up in one or two screens worth of contents then i am probably going to miss it. the thing that bugs me now are those mini video players that follow you on every page...

seconded. i have seen and heard the name but thought it was yet another python web framework -- like, you know, we be getting a lot of them lately. i will definitely check it out because i always wondered that jupyter is fun and game, but h

i would give anything to have a modern switch statement added to python. the justification for not having one does not hold water anymore. we even have enums in the standard library but nobody uses them -- afaik -- because without a switch

nested ifs work here too. i personally don't think cognitive overload is an issue because you are not composing all the conditions at once. in fact, each block should only care about one condition. but you make a good point. tbh, i hav
