(The proposal to use """ for both open and closing delimiters is very IDE-unfriendly. Imagine trying to do syntax highlighting and checking as the user is entering a program or makes a typo ...)

But IDE-s ara adopted to groovy and scala now. (I.e. netbeans correctly parse and highlight groovy long strings). And all major IDE-s will be adopted to new . So, this argument is not counted.

// And of course, I does not see prinicipal difference in number of delimiters.

If multiline strings such anticipated -- may be syntax of some form of HERE document can be used instead ?

P.S. Sorry, I know that multiline strings debate is closed ;)

You'd mark a localized string with some extra marker, for example:

String x = <"Name: $(name)_ _Address: $(address)">; -- --Per Bothner per at bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
