On the other hand, interpolated strings are fucking awesome and you need them every 5 seconds for UI work
Sure, but in Perl and other languages there is a difference between
"$foo"and'$foo'. In that the first expands the value offoo, while the other doesn't.But usually if you need to write stuff in noisy strings, just use printf/sprintf. Or a <<HERE block.
