Re: Rise of Node

open up a console in Chrome and type 0.1 + 0.2 and see what Javascript

thinks the answer is

I really wish they would address this in the base language (Javascript).
Though they do have good libraries that address the issue (

Henrik, open up a console in Chrome and type 0.1 + 0.2 and see what
Javascript thinks the answer is 😊 So already Javascript cannot do the
basic maths you describe, due it only supporting floating point numbers,
without having to implement some fixed point maths library. Try any kind of
date manipulation and you'll find yourself in a similar mess without
resorting to moment.js or some other helper library.
