So I have the following:
flash[:success] = 'Your payment has completed. Please contact ' +
@order.seller.name + ' (mobile: ' +
@order.seller.mobile_number + ', email: ' +
@order.seller.email + ')'
Strangely inside this method, I can’t seem to do string interpolation
and
it prints ‘@order.seller.name’. So that is a strange issue.
But the main thing that puzzles me is should I be replacing + with <<
here?
I read somewhere the performance is better but I really hate seeing <<
in
my code. It just seems ugly and raises my blood pressure for some
reason.

If you’re concatenating a LOT of strings, << is definitely preferable -
a +
b + c + d generates three intermediate String objects which need to be
GCed, while a << b << c << d doesn’t.

Thanks Matt! It is the single quotes which I’m about to convert back to
double quotes!!

String interpolation only works with double (") not single (') quotes.
But since @order.seller.name is not inside quotes that does not
explain why @order.seller.name is not interpreted.
