We did something sort of like that in Little, all double quoted strings
look for ${anything} in the string and evaluates it and prints. Like
fstrings, you can do puts("Print 5 + 7 = ${5 + 7}");
We used single quoted strings as pure strings.
It's handy and sometimes more readable than printf.

seem to me to be a huge improvement over printf
and its close relatives.
What are people's views about the pro's and con's and
how do print and strings compare in usability?

IMO (Like Larry) no printf stinks. But the real
killer for my sustain for
Python is the use white space and being typeless. My daughter loves it
for her cloud development and we argue a bit. But it was the first
language she really mastered in college and she never took a competitive
languages course so I???m not so sure really had experienced much beyond it
for real programs. Maybe I???m just an old fart but between C, Go and Rust
I???m pretty good. I do write scripts in Bourne shell and or awk truth be
known.

Not true. It has some neat functional features (list comprehensions) but
that's not really its intent.
I've really tried to like python but any language that doesn't has printf
as builtin is not for me. Yes, I know about their library printf but it
is weird.
