explanation
i ported boost’s format library in the simplest fashion possible and now i’m releasing it here!
how does it work?
in boost’s format, you would do something like:
boost::format fmt("Here's %1% and there's %2% and then %.2f");
fmt % "this" % "that" % 120.0;
for simplicity, this module does not support placeholders like this. but maybe it will be added in the future.
in this module, the syntax works like this:
local fmt = format "Well here's %s and there's %s and then there's %.2f" % "this" % "that" % 120
each time a % is done, it is passed in as an argument to string.format under the hood. in this example i didn’t use parentheses because imo it looks cleaner that way
how do i get it?
i’m not gonna sugarcoat it
