Float is Legacy

A session at RubyConf 2011

We're using Float values anywhere in our Ruby scripts.

Have you gotten any troubles with Float?

Have you read the article "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic"?

Have you been scolded about issues of floating-point numbers from Ruby committers in redmine.ruby-lang.org ?

I'm afraid if you think it's difficult to use floating-point numbers.

These troubles, difficulties, and tragedies should be removed from Ruby and its communities.

I show you the way to solve these issues.
