    Yeah, you could very well argue that JS and others that use it for weird interpolated strings are the weird ones here.

      On the other hand, interpolated strings are fucking awesome and you need them every 5 seconds for UI work

        Sure, but in Perl and other languages there is a difference between "$foo" and '$foo'. In that the first expands the value of foo, while the other doesn’t.

        But usually if you need to write stuff in noisy strings, just use printf/sprintf. Or a <<HERE block.
