Description
It's used in both JavaScript
// JavaScript Template Strings
let p = new Person("George", 41);
console.log(`This is ${p.name}, he's ${p.age} years old.`);
And Scala
// Scala String Interpolation
val p = new Person("George", 41)
println(s"This is ${p.name}, the's ${p.age} years old.")
They serve the same purpose in both languages, and is functionally equivalent to Ruby's #{...} syntax.
