It is a meme at this point that JavaScript sucks since it cannot even add 0.1 and 0.2 correctly. This is true, but it is not a problem with JavaScript. This is a problem with every single programming language and every single computer ever developed since they all use binary for their calculations which is why computers fail to add this correctly.
