Mr JavaScript, the good parts himself Douglas Crockford has touched on this himself and proposed a solution, not just for JavaScript but for programming languages in general: http://dec64.com/

@mt3o Yeah it *should* be falsy, but isn't:
> (2.8-0.8)%2
< 1.9999999999999998
> !!((2.8-0.8)%2)
< true
FUCK IEEE 754.
I've always thought that javascript's problem with floating points was just a good anecdote, but it couldn't have serious consequences in real life programming.
Until I've been stuck half an hour with a bug just because (2.8-0.8)%2 was falsy! FUCK, why don't decide to switch to a decent codification of numbers? Fuck them and fuck all programming languages like this
