    That doesn’t make any sense. As you say, in that case you have to “spread leftovers”, but that isn’t really any more difficult with floats than integers.

    It’s better to use integers, sure. But you’re waaaay over-blowing the downsides of floats here. For 99% of uses f64 will be perfectly fine. Obviously don’t run a stock exchange with them, but think about something like a shopping cart calculation or a personal finance app. Floats would be perfectly fine there.
