You can create json and sql string template processors that suffer from no injection problems. I'd call that a large improvement over, for example, Javascript. But I'm not familiar enough with the string template feature in the other languages to comment on their relative security.

Bad example. JavaScript literally has that (ever since ES6). [1]

  function sql(strings, ...args) {
    // ...
  }

  sql`SELECT * FROM user WHERE email = $1`

This is a solved problem in .NET, and C# only has one kind of string templating:

  FormattableString foo = $"select * from {table} where {column} = 42";

Not sure if C# can do that, but java’s implementation can return an arbitrary object based on the templates/parameters.
