I just started porting Java's String.format() to JavaScript. You might find it useful too.

It supports basic stuff like this:

StringFormat.format("Hi %s, I like %s", ["Rob", "icecream"]);

Which results in

Hi Rob, I like icecream.

But also more advanced numberic formatting and date formatting like:

StringFormat.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tA %1$te %1$tB, %1$tY", [new Date("2014-12-16")]);

Duke's Birthday: Tuesday 16 December, 2014

See for more in the examples.
