@Steve_Yegge People have been against «automatic programming» since the fifties. And it has always meant a higher level abstraction then what is already available to the programmer. https://t.co/Eub3tIJCOX
@lemire Many domains in finance like risk management and budgeting have a built-in uncertainty that make using floats perfectly fine. There are also issues with storing money as cents if you interact with some currencies that have smaller minor units than 1/100
@Heliocene@ChShersh@lauriewired You have the same precision issues with decimal systems as well. I.e 10/3. you can use kahan summation to reduce the numerical error of floats.
