One minor request: Could you change the wording here to not refer to constants as "variables"? That was a minor tweak I've been meaning to make, and it seems reasonable to do it here since you're reworking the pages already.

Can you remove this heading? This slide is about statics, and I think this little introductory header is unnecessary clutter.

Per my suggestion, could you remove the properties slide and then remove the extra level of nesting here? The title of the first slide can also change to just "Statics" since it's not introducing both concepts anymore.

I don't think we need this properties slide. This info was originally in the speaker notes and it felt pretty superfluous to me. I think we can remove this content, and move the "More to Explore" section to the speaker notes on the statics slide.

Don't forget to add a redirect in book.toml for the old path.

Oh, I forgot about book.toml. I'll add that now. |
I missed this in #1881 before clicking "merge".
Motivation: * const usecases are likely more familiar than static usecases * currently the static slide refers `const`, before it's introduced Background: static and const were previously on the same slide, with const being introduced first ( #1881 ) but when they were split, static was moved first.
Updated the content for space issue .
