• Yes you can. You’re vastly underestimating the size of an f64. Give me a concrete example of a money operation that fails with f64 (for normal companies; assuming you aren’t a stock exchange or Visa or whatever).

          Enums are not a good idea for the currencies either.

          Why not?

            0.1f64 + 0.2f64 != 0.3f64

            Why not?

            Encoding in assumptions about a fixed amount of supported currencies in a system is broadly speaking not a good idea

            • 0.1f64 + 0.2f64 != 0.3f64

              It does if you round it to the nearest penny.

              Most sensible programming languages allow enums to be non-exhaustive.
