I know it would need to allocate memory, but from a user perspective that allocation isn't less visible when using f strings instead of the format macro.

In your example I would return a String and generate a warning, because the f of the string isn't used.

If it was part of Rust the language it can't create Strings because String isn't part of the language, nor even a "langitem". The core Rust language has no idea there's such a thing as a String

str (and thus &str) is part of the language, it's a built-in primitive type like i64 or bool, but String is just a struct the alloc crate brings into existence and so it may not be available.

I see.

Though could this work by the language feature just working like a Macro? Code without alloc using f strings just wouldn't compile then
