> STR."My name is \{name}";

What is the method call ? Agree with grandparent this looks too inconsistent for Java

STR.format(“”) would be more Java with import as Alias

  StringTemplate t = RAW.”My name is \{name}”;
  STR.process(t)

Yes, it is a very tiny new syntax so that templates can be distinguished from string literals (so string templates can never stand without a template processor, hence the RAW)
