Just to be clear, in ecmascript.

'hello' // string literal.
"hello" // string literal.
`hello` // template literal (not a string literal)

Otherwise you may end up confusing people. :)

We’re not good about consistent wording. You’ll see template literal and string literal used even if it isn’t the official wording in the spec. But yes, I tried to include the various terms since it’s confusing.
I would have named the post template literals but I was matching my original tweet.
