That would prevent experimentation with different types.
- IshKebab 8y agoNot really - it's already a defacto standard so if you want to experiment with custom types and expect to just change `float` to 48 bits or whatever you should expect a lot of existing code to break, even if the standard says it shouldn't. It's just too much effort to code to the actual standard and not worth it when essentially all computers use the same sizes and implementations of types.
