In general, if you want to have control over those arguments, reusing the template without the need of the wrapping function, you will have to provide a way to apply logic inside the template string, that complicates things a lot.
As for i18n, ICU messages can solve that part of the puzzle providing structure and logic for complex messages. FYI we are working on a proposal for ECMA-402 to introduce `Intl.MessageFormat()` that will address i18n aspect of this. /caridy > On Mar 23, 2015, at 4:52 PM, Andrea Giammarchi <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Even a function wouldn't scale that well for i18n purpose, 'cause you should > write either a function per language or each language switch statement per > function. > > I see current ES6 string templates good for debug purpose only, and not much > else ... maybe English centric developers tools so few, definitively good use > cases, but nothing that useful or powerful for the known Web. > > ``` > > var template = ``Hello ${name} !``; > > template({name: 'there'}); // Hello there ! > > ``` > > But I know, double back-tick might look too like double rainbow: "OMG what > does it mean" ??! > > Regards > > > > On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 9:29 PM, Brendan Eich <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Jason Orendorff wrote: > But from the few data points I have, approximately 100% of web > developers, when they first hear "template strings are in ES6", think > that means something like Mustache in the standard library.
