Hi Nick and all other Python ideas friends,
yes, you are right. There is not much difference between PEP-501 or my
proposal.
One argument why I would like to prefer backticks:
Some IDEs detect that you want to use a f-string automatically:
You type:
name = 'Peter'
print('Hello {name...
and the IDE automatically adds the missing "f" in front of the string:
name = 'Peter'
print(f'Hello {name...
This is a handy feature (of PyCharm), which would not work reliably if
there are two different prefixes.
-------
You mentioned these things:
eager rendering: I think deferred rendering would increase the complexity a
lot. And I think it is not needed.
runtime value interpolation: It is up to the receiver of
types.InterpolationTemplate to handle the data structure.
dedicated templating libraries: One temp after the other. I think HTML and
SQL libraries would adapt as soon as the foundation
is available.
I would be happy if PEP-501 would come true.
Regards,
Thomas Güttler
