From c9d4ad07c4c166d655f11862e03c10100dcb704b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Micay Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 02:26:09 -0400 Subject: remove the `float` type It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now. A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more numbers into SSE/AVX registers. If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
