Will String.format be available in native?

[AnaR]

I was able to use typical $field within the string in Kotlin-native. Is there a specific use you are looking for String.format?

[Aregev2]

Not a specific thing, would have been nice to have a java like formatting system in K/N

[AnaR]

Perhaps you should look at Kotlin's formatting system instead for Kotlin native. The Kotlin std-lib is implemented in K/N

[AnaR]

Haven't tried it, but, this may work: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/format.html

[Aregev2]

Platform and version requirements: JVM

[Aregev2]

Checked it

There is platform.posix.snprintf, but it's not exactly the same - outputs utf-8 string to preallocated C buffer.

[Aregev2]

I see

[Aregev2]

I heard there are plans to combine it with the string template system
