JS - Avoid backticks usage without interpolation needs

[JulienWilhelm]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In JS, we can write strings inside :

• Single quotes ;
• Double quotes ;
• Backticks.

By using backticks, we can inject variables that will be evaluated on runtime, just like that :

console.log(`this is my ${variable} content.`);

I made a simple jsperf test to evaluate the performance between each approach.

<!-- HTML -->
<p id="my-para"></p>

// JS. Test 1.
document.getElementById('my-para').textContent = 'A few words...';

// JS. Test 2.
document.getElementById('my-para').textContent = "A few words...";

// JS. Test 3.
document.getElementById('my-para').textContent =  `A few words...`;

Here are the results :

1. Using double quotes is always fastest ;
2. Using backticks is always slowest.

Describe the solution you'd like

A dedicated rule?
Backticks without interpolation needs should be avoid.

Hello, thank you for the rule idea!

Unfortunately, when I try to reproduce on jsperf (a very good tool, by the way!), the results are a bit random and the backticks aren't always the slowest.

I think it needs a little more work to validate its relevance. Any help is welcome on this topic 👍

Hum. I made these tests again today, and I got various results too!
It seems I was wrong (even if it should be logic)!

Do not close the issue so fast; I will try to make some others tests.
