Raku Language Solves Floating-Point Precision Natively
Raku's rational number type ensures 0.1 + 0.2 equals 0.3 exactly, avoiding floating-point errors common in other languages. It also supports Unicode digits, superscripts for powers, and arbitrary-precision integers without special imports. These features make numeric computation more intuitive and accurate for developers.

Raku's approach is elegant, but its niche adoption means most developers will still rely on workarounds in mainstream languages.
