My autistic son would happily play in the park. Just once every few months he would decide that “now is the time to run” and just take off as fast as he could in a straight line. How would that play out in a busy street.
People can’t imagine that: so much of the time things are calm, straightforward to handle, but if EVER you let your guard down for a second at the wrong time, you’ll end up on the news as a “tragic story of grieving negligent parent.”
Oh, many years ago I had a baby monitor that included a pressure mat. If it detected no movement for a while (it was sensitive enough to detect breathing) it set off an alarm.
Although if such a thing exists today, it probably requires an app and a subscription. Enshitification.
Looks like the pixel watch 3 can do something like this, but it only calls emergency services (and plant l only in some regions!)

BASIC uses (used?) it to declare variables. (I don't know if earlier languages did.)
Not that that's a reason for other languages to copy it.
