This discussion reminds me that F# has units of measure support in the language. For example constants can be annotated with units[1]: 1.0<cm> 55.0<miles/hour> Tangentially, it also reminds me that some popular languages don't have a binary coded decimal type for example go and java(?). C# and standard sql support decimals, so your $1.02 doesn't get approximated as $1.01999999 Go has at least 25 community decimal packages[2], but who knows which is a good one to use.
