Float-to-string conversion calls into the platform implementation, so it works differently on both.

I faced the same issue and just implemented a custom function to ensure consistent behaviour.

That’s what I was doing now as well. I think  it’s better to have consistency. 
On the one hand I see why it uses the platforms implementation on the other hand it feels a bit unexpected when a language behaves differently. 

Yeah. What is really needed is a multiplatform string formatter.

Heh, who decides which form is “correct”? To me, the JS result (“25”) is clearly wrong. :wink: 

I think JS does what it does because it doesn't have integers, so it needs to fake it for numbers without decimals.

With that in mind, falling back to the platform default formatter seems to be an incorrect choice.
