Yes, we use the percent sign now.

Did you ever make a decision about this? Will the new hamlet syntax affect this?

Hamlet, Cassius and (currently) Julius all use a consistent set of characters for interpolation. The dollar sign ($) is for plain scalars, the at sign (@) is for URLs and the caret (^) is for embedding other templates (mixins in the case of Cassius). I like this consistency.
Unfortunately, in the case of Julius, the dollar sign is a suboptimal character to use since jQuery uses is so extensively. Currently, to write some simple jQuery Javascript such as:
$("h1").hide()
you have to use a double dollar sign to achieve escaping, namely:
$$("h1").hide()
So the questions to the list are:
* Is it worth trading consistency for a better choice of interpolation character? * If so, what would be a more optimal interpolation character? I think percent sign (%) might be acceptable.
Interpolation is not as important in Julius as it is in Hamlet, so I'm beginning to lean towards replacing the character.
