Why do u prefer single quotes?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not Shall330, but double quotes can imply variables in the string in some languages.

Which languages are these?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

PHP for one. "$x" will interpret the variable $x. '$x' does not.

I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I'm still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn't be able to explain why it worked 🤣
