Well, it seems those example were a bit ambiguous. I'm *not* arguing 
against string interpolation etc. I'm against using them for the sole 
purpose of saving some bytes and CPU cycles.

If you use string interpolation for clarity, that's perfect. I fully 
agree with you. The same goes for inject (with "building up an object" I 
actually meant "building up the aggregate value" -- so there's no 
disagreement on that).

My point is that we should focus on readability, clarity, elegance etc. 
rather than do everything to make our programs run a bit faster. That's 
just not what Ruby is for (at least to my understanding).
