Been using python for almost 10 years. I never use any of the funky strings.

Instead of reading like 10 PEPs for f strings, I just use the + operator on strings and backslash escaping, big whoop.

Instead of 10 PEPs, you could read one helpful cheatsheet: https://www.pythonmorsels.com/string-formatting/#cheat-sheet....

		Doesn't cover: - the trailing slash detail detailed in the OP - raw strings at all - more complex stuff like raw format strings Also, my mind is a temple, I don't learn python from cheatsheets from random secondary sources.

age = 32

print(f"Age: {age}")

Thus concludes the lecture on f-strings.

I find it funny and satisfying that Python has converged to it's own "printf", by which I mean print(f"").

It’s unclear what the big advantage is over `print("Age: "+age)`. It’s even more characters, in that specific example.

Toy examples aren’t the use case, rather multiple variables or expressions, perhaps with formatting (padding) as well.

f-string is shorter, less err prone, and faster for medium complexity or above.

If age is a number, that won’t work.

Admittedly I’m not so familiar with Python; it does work in Java. In that case, introducing a less hazardous string concatenation operator would seem more universally useful.

In Python, that less hazardous string concatenation operator is an f-string.

		I’m assuming you can only use it with string literals, hence it is less universally useful.

Right, because x + " " + y is more clear than of simply f"{x} {y}".

Been using python for longer than 10 years and immediately started using f-strings when I could. It takes almost no time to understand the basics.

		Personally I do find the first version clearer, because it is based on general language rules.
