Thanks, it looks very interesting (and hey, it is a bit too
late, I've just finished to implement errol in D today :)).
After a fast look at the texts, I can't find information about
the optimality. They compare ryu mostly to grisu and grisu
produces always correct, but not always optimal results, so it
fallbacks to a slower algorithm for some values.
It would be also nice to have some paper; I see only videos.
Maybe a paper will come soon.
