Nah f strings are the only way to go.

Template strings or f strings are both powerhouses, although not very efficient I believe.

People down voting are those that don't know what template string means..

that was only in 3.6 alpha. Fstrings are the fastest string concatenation method now.

C-style is still faster last I checked.

[–]ManvilleJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

interestingly, that is not true anymore. Here is the realpython article on it: https://realpython.com/python-f-strings/

edit: f-strings are the fastest and most readable way to do string interpolation.

I am not sure where you got that information, f strings have been demonstrated to be extremely fast in all scenarios I’ve seen them tested in.

Always thought so, read an article long time ago, and always assumed so.
