Single vs Double quotes in Julia : <p>What is the difference between single quotes and double quotes in Julia?</p>

<p>Unlike Python, for strings, it doesn't allow single quotes:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; s = 'abc'
syntax: invalid character literal
&gt; s = "abc"
&gt; print(s)
abc
</code></pre>

<p>But when trying to single quote a double quote, it's allowed:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; s = '"'
&gt; print(s)
"
</code></pre>

<p><strong>What is the single quote use for in Julia? Is there documentation like Python's PEP to explain for reason why single quotes are not used?</strong>  </p>
