See that "0000003" at the end of the float?
Floating point numbers /suck/, we only use them because
computers were small and slow. Now that they are large
(sixty-four bits per word!? Holy shit!) and fast, so
floating point is no longer necessary.
(However, in practice, we will still be using it, because
it's been turd-polished to such a high sheen. GPUs are
monsters! But most of us have no use for supercomputers
outside of playing fancy games.)
---------------------------------------
With a little bit of complexity we could improve efficiency (e.g. using
VList instead of singly-linked list.) But I want to tackle efficiency by
compilation, and write the compiler(s) in Prolog. I think that avoids
