    Swift string interpolation is as close to perfect as I think one could get. So much better than the C style microlanguage of format strings.

      @gte It doesn’t solve the same problem. There’s a reason why even Lisp has a formatting micro language even though it has great quoting.

        @gte it bothers me a bit that there’s no replacement for things like %x or %g or decimal places (yet). Wish those existed in stdlib.

        @gte but completely agreed that those do not belong in string interpolation syntax, but as methods.

      @gte Is there a localization feature I missed? Without that, it’s close to useless.

      @gte I think they still need to add a way to include dictionary items, single quotes, or escaping the quotes etc, so "\(dict["key"])" works.

      @gte maybe if it could actually do number formatting; right now it's the worst possible implementation.

      @gte .NET 4.6 has some nice new string interpolation as well
