I will say that this is an interesting feature, it’s not something that I don’t think I will ever use. Reason being is that string.format follows C’s printf() string formatting which I’m used to because I use C extensively. However, with that being said, and judging from some of the other comments, I’m sure that others will find this useful.

Personally I wouldn’t use it as I’m used to string formatting and I like it. I might make my own format though.

Very nice addition though, and congrats @Kampfkarren!

I never knew that you can use backticks for that like in JavaScript. Is this new?

It’s new syntax used for string interpolation.

You use backticks when you want to interpolate the string:

local balance = 5

print("You have {balance}!") -- You have {balance}!
print(`You have {balance}!`) -- You have 5!

Will my script work as expected in live servers or is it just a studio beta?

Just studio, this doesn’t work in game yet and just gives you an error.

I fell in love with this when I was practicing C#. Almost time to ditch string.format. Thanks!
