Is there a language which can keep track of the potential epsilon error when doing calculations?

    Arb has been merged into FLINT -- use https://github.com/flintlib/flint/ instead

  • arpra

    Arpra is a C library for analyzing the propagation of numerical error in arbitrary precision IEEE-754 floating-point computations.

  • I don't know why everyone else is talking about bignums, but this is a fairly common subject of interest with lots of research projects out there. Off the top of my head Arpra, and CADNA. Julia also has IntervalArithmetic.jl which can be used with some manual work. None of these are core language features, but I don't imagine that was an important part of the question.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
