It's important to note that these are two very different problems, and they almost certainly have very different solutions. In particular, adding any sort of integers won't make 0.1 change behavior. Similarly, one possible solution to the 0.1 issue is decimal floating point, which doesn't give you a 64-bit integer range. Numbers are a very big problem space, and the choices made in JS have multiple issues (as well as some benefits). It's important to be clear on what we want to fix before we start trying to fix it. -- sam th [email protected] _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
