Interesting to see the developments on the String Templates API using the STR and fmt template processors.

> concrete syntax TBB (to be bikeshod)

TIL the past participle of 'bikeshed' is 'bikeshod'. Tremendous.

I'm really happy they are reconsidering the syntax. Thanks for the link

[ptx]

It sound like they're only reconsidering the prefix, not the backslashes, or am I misreading it?

So we're not getting "hello $name" but rather than STR."hello \{name}" they're now considering $"hello \{name}".

I like the backslashes. It’s one character to do escaping
