Python’s new t-strings

I really was on the side of being generally willing to accept new python features, but this is getting ridiculous. What an utterly pointless thing to bloat the language with. At this point my moving to clojure as my first line language of choice is only accelerating.

This is of the category "things I wouldn't want to use even for the specific hyper niche things they're intended for". What even does a "t-string" represent? Because it's clearly not a string of any kind, it's a weird kind of function call notation. The programmer sees something that looks like string formatting, but the program executes some arbitrary procedure that might not return a string whatsoever.

For me, this is the best feature to land in python for 6 years. JS has had this and it allows my code to be completely safe from SQL injection, which is an absolutely incredible feature, given SQL injection has been the #1 vulnerability for a long time.

But this doesn't prevent SQL injection, does it? It adds a grammar feature that you can then use to build SQL injection prevention following a novel idiom. Someone still needs to write the actual SQL building logic somewhere!

I don't think this is the right idiom for doing this. Frankly I don't think SQL query generation should look like string templating at all!

The sell seems to be "now you can write code that looks like an SQL injection vulnerability, without it actually being vulnerable!". I'd rather write code that isn't a vulnerability, and doesn't look like one, and doesn't have to bend the language grammar either.
