Python's new t-strings

Re:Python's new t-strings by maxloh on Monday April 21, 2025 @01:27PM (#43754336)

Hi. I come from a JavaScript background.

I am wondering what is the reason behind not using a similar syntax to JavaScript? Seems simpler to me.

  # Compare this:
  template = t"<p>{evil}</p>"
  safe = html(template)

  # To this:
  safe = html"<p>{evil}</p>"
