- arcticbull 7y agoIn part it's defense against mistakes. You've got a big org, lots of people contributing and your cultural enforcement of the fact everything has to be rounded after every single step falls down. If you're going to create wrappers to automate that part why not just use fixed-precision? There's not really a good reason to use floating point and a few good reasons not to.
