[Python-Dev] Re: Update PEP 292 (original) (raw)

This PEP reminded me of the "boo" language (http://boo.codehaus.org/), a new scripting language for the CLI strongly inspired by Python (especially the Python 3000 variant :-).

It has string interpolation like this (http://boo.codehaus.org/String+Interpolation):

print("Now is ${date.Now}.") print("Tomorrow will be ${date.Now + 1d}")

They require use of {...} after the $, and you don't need to escape the $ if not followed by {.

Just another design variant (of course they may change it all tomorrow :-).
