Datasette currently has a few API internals that return sqlite3.Row objects. I was thinking about how this might work in the future - if Datasette ever expands beyond SQLite (plugin-provided backends for PostgreSQL and DuckDB for example) I'd want a way to return data from other stores using objects that behave like sqlite3.Row but are not exactly that class.

    It’s amazing how often people celebrate some new feature in a language and I’m like: TypeScript has been doing this for years now.

    [Edit: This is also how interfaces work in Go, and it’s just the old advice “Code against interfaces, not classes.”]

      Whatever another programming language supports or does is entirely irrelevant if what you’re working with is Python.
