Floating point hardware storing integers is useful indeed. Look up JavaScript.<p>A language storing big numbers in non-native formats, like your Rakudo example, is irrelevant to the parent&#x27;s point.<p>0.1 isn&#x27;t past any &quot;point&quot; (whatever that means). It just isn&#x27;t representable without recurrence in base 2 much like 1&#x2F;3 isn&#x27;t in base 10.<p>Your post could do without &#x27;duh&#x27; and the like as well.
