Use backticks for string interpolation #16

Closed osa1 closed 3 weeks ago

osa1 commented 2 months ago

Currently we use "<str>$(<expr>)<str>" for interpolation. We should switch to backticks: <str>`<expr>`<str>.

Reasons:

One character shorter than $(.
Backtick syntax should be familiar to everyone, from Markdown.
The language doesn't use $ anywhere else, but backticks will be used in: documentation comments (Markdown), maybe also for variants.
