I’d like to make a modest proposal that I’d find very useful, and maybe you, dear reader, would too. “The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate. He made them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.” Who me? Specifically, I’m

A real fixed-point decimal crate in Rust

Primitive fixed-point decimal types.

This is a common idea. Many other decimal crates do
