String sql = “Not having “ + “to break up “ + “SQL statements” + “like this for readability “ + “thus making them hard to edit “ + “was incredibly useful at my job.”; (Note: I put a subtle bug in there because it always happened) SQL injection is horrible, but people were managing to do that all these years after prepared statements anyway without text blocks. I really don’t think they made things worse. Same thing with embedding HTML in the code. They were gonna do it anyway.
