I lost too much time with things like that and now strongly consider
to interface all calculation to Python and only keep GB as a GUI.
This shouldn't add that many things to the system: as of Linux, Python
is a std install, as of Debian, this will only require a few packages
to add (AND it'll

I don't like floats.
They are slow, and bitchy;
Dim n As Single
n = 1.4 - 0.2
Print n
And the result is 1.20047684, which is obviously wrong from math
point of view.
Correcting floating point artifact, makes floats even slower.
And it is surprisingly common to be able to use integers instead.

Wow, what a big talk...
I just want to explain a few points.
1) I didn't say that I don't want to implement a currency or fixed decimal
datatype in Gambas 3. I just can't. The maximum number of native datatypes has
been reached the way the datatype system works. So it needs a good bit of
I have some code:

myarray[x, 1] = morestuff

and receive an out of bounds error message when referencing the third
array element assignment (myarray[x, 2] = evenmorestuff).
I can only assume that the
