How to interpolate variables in strings in JavaScript, without concatenation?

Question

I know in PHP we can do something like this:

$hello = \"foo\";
$my_string = \"I pity the $hello\";

Output: \"I pity the foo\"<

Answer 1

If you like to write CoffeeScript you could do:

hello = "foo"
my_string = "I pity the #{hello}"

CoffeeScript actually IS javascript, but with a much better syntax.
