Topic: ✔ String interpolation syntax

view this post on Zulip A. J. Edgar Craft (Jan 25 2024 at 18:11):

I'm going through the Roc Tutorial. The string interpolation syntax is "\(value)" but in the documentation it says "$(value)". They both work in the online repl. Will both be part of the language or is one being deprecated in the future?

I've created a PR that modifies the tutorial to use the new syntax
