How can I use this to plot database metadata such as users, vendors, suppliers at their respective addresses. I’m developing a simple Django application and this would be a great addition.

I wrote a library a little while ago which is intended to be the simplest possible expression of this idea:

https://github.com/j4mie/hotmetal/

The core implementation is only 85 lines of Python, and has no imports at all, so works nicely on minimal/alternative Pythons like Micropython.

I'm using it on a medium-sized side project and it's shockingly productive compared to string templates. I don't think anyone is using it except me, though.

This looks really neat. One suggestion is that in your readme, show the webpage output with your examples. It’s hard to image exactly what the page will look like just looking at the hotmetal python code

I would turn your logic around and say, everywhere we are able to look, we find evidence that life is more likely than expected. Until the 1990's it was an open question whether any other star had planets; as soon as we got the tools to test that, we found they were ubiquitous. As soon as we got the right instruments to Mars, we found signs of moving water, methane sources, and complex organic molecules in what is basically an Earth-like old lake bed. The moment PCR technology made it possible to do the search, we found a massive 'dark biome' extending many kilometers into the Earth's crust.

When you immediately find strong pieces of circumstantial evidence the moment you acquire the tools to start looking for something, the correct conclusion to draw is not "we have yet to find a shred of evidence", but that further searching is likely to be highly worthwhile.

I would turn this argument around and say if life elsewhere is more likely, than it should be more likely that life from beyond has found us. If the likelihood of life elsewhere is so high that it has to be true, to me it would also be true that life should have found us by now

You could look into Flutter. It pretty much fits what you are looking for.

I have tried it myself, but did not love it fwiw
