Nasal numbers will convert directly to strings according to fairly
standard representations. Just use them directly, no conversion is
neccessary:
var val = 2.3;
var msg = "The value of 'val' is: " ~ val;
If you need fancy formatting, like for example limiting the output
precision, there is a sprintf() function available that works just
like the ANSI one:
var msg = sprintf("The value of 'val' is: %.2f", val);
I'm not sure if the colon in "2:30" is a typo or not, but that's
possible too with a bit of work:
var frac = math.mod(val, 1);
sprintf("Formatted: %d:%2.2d", val-frac, 100*frac);
