Command subsitution in bash without backticks

Question

If I normally have to write:

echo `someCommand` 

...in order for someCommand to be executed and its output to be sent to echo. Is there some way I can instead write:

echo someCommand

...and get the same effect - ie: no backticks?

Answer 1

You can use

echo $(someCommand)

Instead of backticks, if it's just backticks you don't like.
