- freeone3000 7y agoEverything except operator overloading also applies to the JVM... But equally well to python. Basically, the complaint is you don't get any of the hardware fp stuff like traps and signals and all of the math is slightly unportable because it gives different answers on different machines, but these are well-known issues.
- nestorD 7y agoThere is also the fact that intermediate operation between floats are done in float precision and not double precision (as would be the case with C). It might be the behaviour one would expect but it can lead to serious degradations of a numerical computation.
