Double quotes ?

Hi,
New to rufo, I can see that string surrounded by simple quotes are turned into double quotes surrounded ones ?
As I remembered, simple quotes string are less resource consuming if there is no interpolation in it, right ?
Regards,

Not sure whether there is a performance benefit but it's less mental overhead - if I see a single-quoted string I know it won't have any interpolations / escape sequences

I don't think this is clear cut, personally I use always double quotes
because:
1. Performance is completely irrelevant. There isn't a difference in
performance between "a string" and 'a string', but even if there were, how
a string is instantiated is a minuscule proportion of any programs runtime
and is not that right thing to be optimising. A better concern is avoiding
repeated string allocation via the frozen string literal magic comment.
2. I think it is self evident when a string has interpolation in it without
having differing syntax
3. I don't want to have to change the syntax of a string back and forth as
I add and remove interpolation syntax.

Check this out!! After all it's a decision about performance: https://anti-pattern.com/always-use-double-quoted-strings-in-ruby
