> 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
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
