Ligature Request: ${

[ElectricCoffee]

It's used in both JavaScript

// JavaScript Template Strings
let p = new Person("George", 41);
console.log(`This is ${p.name}, he's ${p.age} years old.`);

And Scala

// Scala String Interpolation
val p = new Person("George", 41)
println(s"This is ${p.name}, the's ${p.age} years old.")

They serve the same purpose in both languages, and is functionally equivalent to Ruby's #{...} syntax.

In PHP too:

<?php
// variable interpolation
$a = 'variable';
echo "You can have a ${a} evaluated";
// variable evaluation
$b = 'anothervar';
${"my_prefix_" . $a} = "A";  // $my_prefix_variable == 'A';
${"my_prefix_" . $b} = "B";  // $my_prefix_anothervar == 'B';
?>

I was just thinking this today, though I don't know what that ligature would look like.

I was thinking about this one and I think maybe if the ligature vertically aligned the characters. But it may be so subtle that it doesn't really add any value 🤷‍♂️

I like the idea though.
