Hey David, First of all, thanks for this great library!
Particularly I'm interested in features like padding, number type formatting and date-time formatting. It would be interesting to have this work as a complete replica of the python string format function.
Some of the syntax can be found here: https://pyformat.info | Using format() for great good
Thanks for your feedback, @episodeyang. You'll be interested in #2. I worked on that pull request several years ago but didn't merge it because I didn't quite finish the test suite. Perhaps your interest will prompt me to spend time wrapping up the pull request, but I won't make any promises. ;)
You are welcome to use the mini-language branch, but an npm release would of course be preferable.
