Anton (Oct 03 2023 at 11:49):I don't think we have something for that yet, I wrote it up in #5881
Declan Joseph Maguire (Oct 11 2023 at 08:26):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.
Anton (Oct 11 2023 at 09:38):Good advice! I've added it to the issue
