Couldn’t the same be said of all the basic types, including tuples, maps, ranges, and processes (arguable *the* essential type of Erlang/Elixir)? Providing a convenient string representation that takes liberties with formatting is the purpose of Kernel.inspect/1, not String.Chars.to_string/1. Wouldn’t the most consistent behavior be to expect the programmer to inspect the float they wish to interpolate/log, just as they must with a tuple, map, range, struct, process, etc? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
