Is there a way to format floating number to string conversion, high precision is less important than size of a string sometimes
I don't think we have something for that yet, I wrote it up in #5881
I 100% agree that you need good syntax for float string representation. I know I've already talked a lot about scientific computing, but it sucks when you log a pile of numbers and none of the strings line up, or they just look totally different like when it jumps to exponential notation, or the negative numbers are shifted over by 1 due to the minus sign. It's worth looking at many other languages, because there's a lot of corner cases to consider.
Good advice! I've added it to the issue
