Question

I wanted to ask if there is any type of string interpolation in Scala. I have made a search on the subject but ’till now I have found that there is no string interpolation. Is there plans to get implemented in next versions?

Thanks!

UPDATE

String interpolation is going to be in scala 2.10 which you can try out since scala 2.10.RC1 is out (20/10/2012). You can check out this SIP for scala 2.11 which states that interpolated strings in the pattern matcher will be valid syntax. With the new string interpolation you can do something like this:

val age = 28
val name = "Gerry"

s"My name is $name and I am $age years old"
res0: String = My name is Gerry and I am 28 years old

But try out the documentation on all the interpolators that are available at the moment. Note that you can define your own interpolators! Try this link for more info.

It’s not in the (released) scala library yet. But there is a SIP (Scala Improvement Process) for the addition of this feature:
