When I'm coding in C I don't code in C, I code in assembler, I just express my assembler in C. I turn a bit of a blind eye to floating point math tho, cause I'm not sadistic.

main one is that access to floating point should require a license and a test. fail the test and you can't use floats until you go to floating point school. even then, you still have to pass the test.

and this test just isn't "what can go wrong" it's also "okay, build me an FPU from gates."

very few people would be able to program if they had to understand how to actually build a cpu, though :(

they can use all the fixed point they want though! :) it's mostly a shitpost but i do think people should avoid floats unless they truly understand them.
