Why is it not JavaScript? The Ecmascript spec explicitly allows syntax extensions.


Is this valid Javascript: %%$$#~~~~##

What if I make it my special js "syntax extension"?


I'm not javascript syntax, especially if you're being pedantic, but focusing on that is kind of missing the point, which is that it's tool friendly in the way string interpolation is not.
