 trudwin | Hi. While working on escaping for the Nix language (for injected language support in NixOS/nix-idea, I noticed that you cannot add escape sequences after a single quote (') in indented strings. For example if you add ${ after ', a naive implementation would generate '''${, which is invalid inside indented strings. | 13:45:24 |

| trudwin | Is there an idiomatic why to escape '${? I currently consider '$''\{ as best solution, as it seems to require the least amount of characters. Any other opinions? | 13:49:47 |

| 13:50:40 |
| hexa | `'$${foo}' | 13:51:03 |
| trudwin | Unfortunately, this pattern doesn't work for other escape sequences. So I guess I have to use something like ''\'''\r for them? | 13:51:05 |

| trudwin | But that would result in a different string, right? The $$ is becomes $$, but the string I am encoding has only one dolla sign. | 13:52:06 |
| hsjobeki | It gets stripped afaik | 13:52:52 |
| hexa | nix-repl> ''${foo}''
"bar"
nix-repl> ''$${foo}''
"$\${foo}"
nix-repl> "$${foo}"
"$\${foo}"
| 13:53:02 |
| hexa | so confusing 🤪 | 13:53:07 |
| hexa | in my memory it does get stripped, too | 13:53:25 |
| hsjobeki | Yeah it's super confusing | 13:54:45 |
| trudwin | Not as far as I remember it. 😄 | 13:55:16 |
| hexa | oh, it was '''${foo}' instead | 13:56:15 |
| trudwin | * But that would result in a different string, right? The $$ becomes $$, but the string I am encoding has only one dolla sign. | 13:56:20 |
| hexa | and "$${foo}" | 13:56:38 |
