Especially if you come from other languages. a + " " + b will be clearer to devs that aren't senior python developers. the f string thing is just a marginal improvement at the cost of alienating other devs. But it's great for gatekeeping and job security.

According to Wikipedia[1] the history of string formatting goes back to 1950s. Also, basically every major programming language these days implements it in some form.

Ah, okay, it's just a troll.
But the link you shared describes a syntax that is very different.
"%T", T t
not "{ (expr).__str__()} "
If that helps you sleep at night
