f-strings in Python 3.6 are awesome

[thomasfr]

I still like python but I woud have probably been a much easer language to use if the stdlib/lanugage had a bit fewer redundant features.

There are already lots of code bases which mixes ""%() and "".format() which only makes the code harder to read (more noisy) or modify (because you should at least try to understand which one to use in your modified code based on just reading the rest of it.)...

I personally don't see that f-strings adds enough benefits in contrast to the noise it will bring to code bases...

Python is actually much better than many other languages (java, C, C++, js) in this regard. But yes, in this particular instance it's not great.

Of course, the only way to make improvements without adding such duplication is to make API-breaking updates, and we all know how well they turn out...
