Hello list, while browsing some of the existing GNOME-Shell extensions source [1] noticed string formating similiar to C or python: ``'some_random_string'.format()``. I'm not really that familiar with JS but by all accounts ([2], [3], [4]) javascript does not have build in string formating. So my question is, is there some additional magic happening when JS is parsed for extensions? Why does this work? Did I miss something? Thank you for your time Eric.
