> I guess they want to force you to choose interpolator. In which case using `\{}` as the interpolation signal is completely unnecessary, because the new syntax already solves the backward compatibility concerns. Using just `{x}` like C# and Python, or `$x`/`${x}` like Kotlin, would have sufficed and made the syntax a lot more palatable. So would using postfix format specifiers, because that printf-style prefix garbage is just gnarly.
