I vaguely remember reading about numerical precision issues in Julia from this old blog post here - http://web.archive.org/web/20150226121144/http://wizardmac.t.... But honestly, it's from 2015, and Julia's evolved a lot since then, so it might not be an issue anymore. But I wanted to confirm, hence I added the uncertainty.

That article was about handling of "Missing" values (which Julia now had natively), and a wish for inclusion of an 80-bit float type. I don't know what languages has that, but you can have 128bit, 256bit and even larger floats now, if that is relevant.
