> no mainstream language has a first-class data type for representing money

Visual Basic 6 and VGA had a `Currency` type (replaced by `Decimal` in VB.NET): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/refere...

T-SQL has `money` and `smallmoney` types: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/money...

...am I missing something?
