That would seem to be a reasonable implementation, but it's still implemented in BrightScript and seems to require explicitly calling a function.
I'm definitely talking about / proposing adding string interpolation to your basic string handling in the BrightScript language for a future OS upgrade release. Bigger picture, I'm trying to feel out what your tolerance and appetite is for language suggestions and contributions. For example, if you ran with adding string interpolation, I'd next start talking about things like spread operators and object destructuring.
It's all just language features that enable increasingly more powerful patterns. You guys do clearly add stuff to the language and platform, there's just no roadmap or real engagement beyond this forum, which feels like a support capacity. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but there's definitely an opportunity for you guys to engage with a more pragmatic and helpful developer subset within the community that are trying to use the platform to do new and interesting things.
No wrong answers. I appreciate both of your replies so far.

thing = "book"
color = "red"
print "My %s is %s.".Format(thing, color)
' prints "My book is red."This is working answer.
