# Use $() instead of \() for string interpolation | ||
|
||
* Proposal: [SE-0007](https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/proposals/0007-use dollar to start string interpolation.md) | ||
* Author(s): [Wu Yang](https://github.com/pinxue) | ||
* Status: **Review** | ||
* Review manager: TBD | ||
|
||
## Introduction | ||
|
||
Use $(expr) to replace current \(expr) to interpolate string literal. | ||
|
||
## Motivation | ||
|
||
Currently, \(expr) is used for interpolation of string literal. \ starts character escaping as well in string literal, which makes \( ) looks quite unbalance. Use $( ) makes the string literal looks much more comfortable. | ||
|
||
## Proposed solution | ||
|
||
$(expr) and ${expr} are widely used for years. Considering $(expr) is closer to \(expr), let's take $(expr). | ||
|
||
## Detailed design | ||
|
||
Let's change "\n(\(name),\(value))\n" to "\n($(name),$(value))". | ||
|
||
## Impact on existing code | ||
|
||
Existed code will lose interpolation without modifying. Compiler may detect the legacy interpolation syntax and issue an error. An auto-rewriting wizard can be a part of project migrating in Xcode. | ||
|
||
## Alternatives considered | ||
|
||
Another way is to use \(expr\), which is one letter more and a little harder to type than $(expr) |

# Add const as alias of let | ||
|
||
* Proposal: [SE-0008](https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/proposals/0008-add-const-as-alias-of-let.md) | ||
* Author(s): [Wu Yang](https://github.com/pinxue) | ||
* Status: **Review** | ||
* Review manager: TBD | ||
|
||
## Introduction | ||
|
||
Add const as alias of let. | ||
|
||
## Motivation | ||
|
||
const is more related to var than let, which may makes source code a little easier to read. | ||
|
||
## Proposed solution | ||
|
||
Add const as an alias of let. | ||
|
||
## Detailed design | ||
|
||
Programmer may write const instead of let in source code. Mixing of const and let is forbidden though to avoid confusion. | ||
|
||
## Impact on existing code | ||
|
||
It is harmless new syntax sugar, thus no impacts. | ||
|
||
## Alternatives considered | ||
|

I'd argue two keywords to do the same thing would be confusing to new Swift programmers.
