Your lack of imagination does not change the facts.

No. Please discontinue this thread, we've been over this a million times, no point doing it again.

It's funny to see people defending interpolated strings shouldn't be string

It's funny to see people thinking interpolated strings are strings when they are in fact program code.

I'm not sure if you are joking. Most people here understand that there is boilerplate code under interpolated strings. What many didn't like was the clumsy syntax in order to create a string from an interpolated string.

Nor having any form of implicit conversions in the language is a limitation.

It's close to Halloween, so I think it might be that!

I have proposed having both i and s, where s could to .text/.format for you basically.

It's reasonable, hygenic, expected and familiar. I don't have an issue with i"" not being a string, but it would be nice to also have s"" which would be a string.

the problem only exist if we call them interpolated strings. just don't to that, it will avoid endless confusion. call them interpolation tuples in the language. or whatever. just avoid calling them string at all costs.

I had the same thought last week when we discussed this on IRC. First I thought istring would be a good name, but then one can see "string" and think of it as some some kind of string, and after some time I started calling it struple . :)

They are likely to be some other type under the hood in other languages as well, yet they called interpolated strings. Now, I suggest that go to the forums of all the languages that has interpolated strings and instruct them to stop using that term.
