i love computers, they are so good at computing:
> 1.2 + 1.2
=> 2.4
> 1.2 + 2.2
=> 3.4000000000000004
@meena Correct. Python with Decimal 1.2 + 2.2 = 3.400000000000000133226762955 🙈
@colt double precision by default? nice
~ $ lua5.3
Lua 5.3.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2018 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> 1.2 + 2.2

> 1.2 + 2.2
3.4000000000000004
what's funny to me is that Lua makes almost all the same design decisions as JavaScript, but Lua does it right.
@meena
By default, 3.4000000000000004
@colt Ruby in this case, but any language that implements floating point math will have the same issue
