I think it depend on what you need. If you just need to substitute with simple variables, the right way is likely to just process the string yourself (See https://github.com/JuliaLang/Formatting.jl for a similar solution with different syntax). Note that there's no way you can access a local variable by name at runtime so you may need to put the `x` into a Dict. OTOH, if you need full julia string interpolation schematics, there's no way around doing parsing and eval. > > > ? >
