I did mention named parameters, you are using positional parameters to make your point. You don't even list the variables in your example. That seems pretty implicit to me. I think this is more explicit: "My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name="Bob", location="USA", feet=7)

Your example is not representative because you're using literals. Your actual example would be: "My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name=name, location=location, feet=feet) And with f-strings: f"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}." f-strings is clearly more readable, concise and actually faster to run.

  The literals were just an example. And personally I find it more explicit, which is my original point. If its faster to run, then fair enough.

    Using your example, I think "My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name="Bob", location="USA", feet=7) is less explicit than "My name is Bob, I'm 7 feet tall and live in USA."

      Yes it is.

      and that last one is faster to run ;-)
