The utpoian dream of a cashless society is fine until interest rates are taken negative and you have no path of escape

The right for citizens to hold wealth outside of the reach of governments is paramount for the freedom of individuals, unless of course you believe in the benevolence of government, in which case history is not your friend

As to the general aspect of this thread and the topic of accuracy in calculations, has anyone used the Wolfram language?

It's symbolically based and whilst I have not looked at it for detailed numerical calculations I'm interested in knowing if it falls prey to the same issues of inaccuracies when scaled up

Yes, I've watched many of Stephen Wolfram's lovely presentations of it's incredible symbolic nature where even images are treated symbolically but I'm interested to know if anyone has actually used it in more meaningful ways

This is an interesting 12 min watch if you've never seen the language in action
