We went back and forth a few times on this, and might go back and forth
some more. For many applications, the segments are valuable, though for
some, the full string is more useful.
Whether the framework or the policy object does String::split isn't
really that interesting; the real question
Agree. Most of the time fragments are what are required. There are also
circumstances where having the full string is also useful. As you point, in the
doc, we discuss localization, where we use the interpolation string with
placeholders as the key to a "ResourceBundle" lookup.
During evaluatio
It's interesting that in both Scala and JavaScript when you define
custom interpolation policy, you get a collection of Strings instead
of a single string. So in the article, we see "error: file \{} not
found" but in Scala/JS you would get List.of("error: file ", " not
found")). While for localizat

templates" section here:

Btw people say that Scala provides a similar mechanism using
StringContext class:

In fact, Scala's `s` prefix before interpolated literal is a recipe
for interpolation provided by a standard library, not by language. And

I agree with Brian’s response to Remi: Nothing new here
regarding eval or ASTs.
My favorite wished-for-use-case for templated strings is
a grammar where the “holes” are grammar actions or
other configuration points for rules. This paper made
me envious for the sake of Java, and also made m
Hello!
Just read the proposal. I don't have any useful comments for now. For
me, the proposal looks great as is. Go ahead and implement it :D
With best regards,

Amber experts,
Now that JDK 17 has been plated and left the kitchen, we should have a look-see
at one of the new menu items Brian and I have had on a slow boil for these last
few months; Templated Strings.
Before you start shouting out, "Templated Strings? This isn't what I ordered!
