Fun fact many processors actually support decimal types in hardware. I believe you can use them in c with _Decimal. Worked on my Ryzen 3700x and (if memory serves) my M1 mac

Due to the downvotes I looked into this again. You can use _Decimal32 etc in GCC on x86, but it is a soft implementation. I believe it is in hardware on some ibm platform, but definitely not on the M1
