@olivierlacan @saturnflyer @searls They're not faster these days, no. They're *really* not faster in Rails, where you have Bootsnap and parse-time isn't a thing at all, full stop.

I can understand the argument that you'd want to see whether interpolation occurs, as a human thing.

But yeah, optimising Ruby for fast string parsing would be really, really silly even if it worked, and it doesn't.
