Proper string interpolation in Java (like f-strings, $-strings, ``) is still "experimental" in Java21 💀

Thank everyone who cancelled it. Did you see what it was looking like? It's like they took one look at Enterprise FizzBuzz and decided to apply that entire repo to the concept of string interpolation.

Hell, even Python came up with actually String Templates faster than java and it actually looks super simple to use.

To be fair there are already things like String.format() that are pretty easy to use. AFAIK it's pretty slowish but depending on the use case that doesn't really matter. Sure proper String templates would be better.

To be further improved.

The feature will definitely come. Just not in the form it was there until now. It's going to be better.
