It's strange as they point out that doing what Scala does is not possible as the language already has string literals that could contain the $ syntax stuff. But Scala does not enable string interpolation without explicitly using it by adding s infront of the string (s"some $value ${another}way") Though as they point out the syntax was not really the problem.
