SenseTalk does string interpolation through the <code>merge</code> function, which can evaluate any sort of embedded expression, including entire sections of code like conditionals or repeat loops. For convenience, the merge function can be invoked by simply using a <code>!</code> before a string literal (this is needed because string literals are actually literal in SenseTalk -- there are no characters with hidden meaning by default).
<lang sensetalk>put "little" into x
put "Mary had a [[x]] lamb." -- this is a literal string
put !"Mary had a [[x]] lamb." -- this is an interpolated string
put
put !"[[repeat with n=2 to 6]]Mary had [[n]] [[x]] lambs.[[return]][[end repeat]]"
put !"Mary had [[repeat with n=2 to 6]][[n]] [[x]] [[end repeat]]lambs."
</lang>
