What is this sort of String.Format called? [duplicate]

Question

This looks like some sort of string.Format in JavaScript.

var some_var = "Alice",
    other_var = "Bob";
var test = `${"Hello " + some_var + ". How is " + other_var + "?"}`;
console.log(test);

What is it called? Browser compatibility?

It's an ES6 feature that's now starting to get support in several js engines.
