Great write up!
A small typo here (in the companion blog post https://labs.quansight.org/blog/2022/01/ipython-8.0-lessons-...) I think:
> Python has multiline strings with triple backticks
I think this should say "quote marks" instead of "backticks" since backticks are a different char, Python strings use single- or double-quote char, and three of them delimits a multiline string.
