I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT LEVERAGES EXISTING LANGUAGE FEATURES AND DOESNT TRY TO INVENT NEW SYNTAX....

@bossposs i was... not aware [Identifier][InterpolatedString] was a valid syntax??

Follow

@bossposs i just went bug eyed. what the hell. isn't this a Lua feature??

@shaderphantom the semantics are a bit different from lua! a templating function's arguments look like (stringParts, ...interpolatedParts) where stringParts is an array of the bits that aren't in ${}s and interpolatedParts is the bits that are

@shaderphantom (and stringParts always has exactly n+1 items where interpolatedParts has n items)
