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.
