Hé hé, what a shame, when having a integer roundedSqrt or a truncatedSqrt is cheap and easy<br>http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7099<br><br>

For interactive graphics they are, very much, yes, and that is one of
the major reasons for Squeak to exist.
But even in general, having Float arithmetic is so convenient to
developers that it crept into many places that don't even really need
it. In an image that is not that important to you, try making
Float>>sqrt do "self halt", and then move a window for example.
Or take the OLPC hardware designers - they went for the lowest-power
chip that had a decent floating point unit (or at least that was a
major factor) because there is so much software out there that relies
on float support and that does not perform adequately with emulation.
