that gets solved by using a different quoting character for template literals.

> Backticks are traditionally banned from use in future language features, due to the small symbol. No reader should need to distinguish ` from ' at a glance. It’s entirely possible that the prevailing opinion on this has changed, but it’s certainly going to be easier to stick to the letter prefixes and regular quotes.

and earlier in the thread the difficulty in typing it for some is cited as another reason
