@karolherbst Ah, yeah. Already too much negativity online as it is... kudos for having the restraint to know when not to post, genuinely.

The answer to the question of "do I use a floating point arithmetic for currency" was, is and always will be: No

Please just don't do this to yourself.

@karolherbst Is it better to do operations with a fractional field (e.g. $128.64 becomes 128 in one var and 64 in the other), or just do everything in one field (e.g. $128.64 becomes 12864 in a single var)?

@karolherbst Sure, but in e.g. C, one would need to implement that themselves if they were unable to use any external libraries. I'm just curious about the upsides and downsides to each approach.

I wonder if #rusticl is mature enough to be enabled by default on a few drivers these days.

I'm still a bit reluctant, but maybe it's fine?

@karolherbst yes please
