I don't get it. Cause it's 'nicer'??
Because writeln(someFloat) is equivalent to writefln("%g",
someFloat). And according to printf specification, "trailing
zeros are removed from the fractional part of the result; a
decimal point appears only if it is followed by at least one
digit"
oh. that explains it.
I would have preffered it defaulted java style ;-)
System.out.println(1.0); // i.e. it prints 'what I told it to
print'.
