I am concerned that we have too many string formatting methods:
% formatting
.format()
f-strings
string templates
(are there others I've missed?).
And now we have another proposed one.
It's all getting a bit much. And IMO a turnoff for people learning
Python (which one should I use, and why?).
Best wishes

I can feel with you. There are some new things in Python which make it harder to learn. I personally
don't see a need for the walrus operator.
But on the other hand you can't compare Template Literals with normal string handling.
This really helps developers to avoid cross-site-scripting attacks by enabling a secure
escaping of all strings which are not explicitly marked as safe.
Template Literals only make sense if you want to escape values like in HTML, XML or SQL templates.
