Does a python-esque placeholder exist in the Javascript language?
<p>I am experienced in Python, but relatively new to the Javascript language. I know in Python, if I want to substitute a variable into a string (for instance) I could do it this way: </p>

<p><code>s = "%s:%s" % (mins, secs)</code></p>

<p>However, I can't find an equivalent way to substitute values in Javascript. Does something like this exist, or am I going about this the wrong way?</p>

<p>Not available in ES5, but it is available in ES6:</p>

<p>Keep in mind this might not work right in the browser across the board-- you'll probably need to use something like <a href="https://babeljs.io/" rel="nofollow">Babel</a> to transpile your code to ES5.</p>
