Is there any way in Julia to perform string interpolation after the string is declared?

For example in python I can do:

&gt; x = "Hello, {}"
&gt; x.format("friend")
'Hello, friend'

So I can declare x with placeholders, and later decide what goes in the placeholder. Is there any equivalent to this in Julia?

Thanks!

There are packages for this, e.g. the C-style Printf standard library or the Python-style Formatting.jl, and also Mustache.jl.
