Could this help us avoid the ugliness of nesting quotes and backslash-escaping hell?

• xentronium 12y ago
  Backslash-hell can be solved in ASCII-based languages too. E.g. in ruby there are several ways to have a string literal: "hello world" "hello, #{name}!" # interpolation %{hello world} %{hello, #{name}!} # interpolation %{hello, "#{name}"} # interpolation with quotes %|hello, "#{name}"| # you can use other kinds of surrounding "brackets" if you don't like curly ones
