I don’t mind the typing ergonomy. More that it is visually ugly and counter-intuitive. Because in every other language a backslash would mean you want to keep the braces instead of interpolating the variable inside. They even have a comparison table at the top of the document, where they didn’t dare to put the Java option next to the others because it would stand out as being too different. Why not just follow the established conventions?
