Do you have particular questions? The overall situation is that floating
point arithmetic is good, but not like real numbers or symbolic algebra; it
is its own world and respecting the details is important (NaNs,
representability, tolerance in comparison, etc.)

I would say it's the same as most languages. Go implements IEEE floating
point, so any comparison with a NaN is false.

When working with Floating-point values in Go, what considerations need to
be made?
The same for any other language?
The Spec says that "Floating-point values are comparable and ordered"
https://golang.org/ref/spec#Comparison_operators
So is comparing by some epsilon value not needed? or only f
