How is there no common String.format yet? :disappointed:

Not enough votes I guess. <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-4859>

The main reason is that `String.format` is localized and internationalization is a pain and difficult to do right. It’s not something the dev team can confidently implement in common code yet. Plus, it’s much less needed when you have string interpolation available

Thank you. I get the localization issues. For now I just needed a 0 leading precision flag. I will roll my own for now.

Put in my votes for those issues too. Thanks again!
