Status of SIP-72 (dedented string literals)

[devlaam]

@lihaoyi

Yeah it’s a relatively uncontroversial SIP,

Surely you are joking @lihaoyi , not everybody is happy with

@lihaoyi

(I agree it’s not great to have) yet another string literal syntax

What happend to the wise words below??

@odersky

The question is whether the better usability is enough to warrant two different string literal syntaxes.

@odersky

But I am still a bit pained that we now use another lexical delimiter with '''. It does not feel very nice for a language that strives to be small and orthogonal in its features.

For a collection of the unhappy people see the original thread. With all due respect of your really wonderful contributions to Scala, imho, this is not one of them. I feel it has been pushed through.
