tagstr

Tagged templates[0], the language feature that enables this, were introduced in ECMAScript 2015 apparently – arguably at least somewhat new in the lifespan of JavaScript. :) Java is getting a similar feature with template processors[1], currently in preview. It would be nice to have it in Python as well – i.e. not just f-strings, but something that (like tagged templates) allows a template function process the interpolated values to properly encode them for whatever language is appropriate (e.g. shell, SQL, HTML, etc.). Apparently someone is working on a proposal[2], although there doesn't seem to be much recent progress. [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

ReactPy dev here. We're actually contributing to a WIP PEP that would add JS-like tagged template literals to Python. We think this will open up a whole new world of templating and DSL possibilities: https://github.com/jimbaker/tagstr
