Neat, but it honestly feels like a step backwards for me. I don't pass multiple parameters into print() or console.log() for Python or JS. I use f-strings in

Neat, but it honestly feels like a step backwards for me. I don't pass multiple parameters into print() or console.log() for Python or JS. I use f-strings in Python 3, .format() in Python 2, and template strings in JS. They just read better to me.

I think printf/format and interpolation/fstrings both have their place, and it's nice when languages support both.

There’s a nice syntactic sugar for debugging with f-strings: if you place an equal sign, it will print both the variable name and the value. For example: >>> f"{name=}" 'name=Rodrigo'

      That makes sense. The big f-string tutorial people reference (and is the current top result on DuckDuckGo for "f-string") was written prior to 3.8.

  Thanks for bringing attention to this! That has bugged me a lot when debugging in different languages and I only stumbled over it recently when reading the Python docs.
