I recommend using Ada instead.

Unless Ada offers the option for decimal arithmetic, that’s not likely
to help.

Ada HAS decimal arithmetic, with specifiable accuracy, as well as
floating point arithmetic, with specifiable accuracy.
In addition, the guarantee of accuracy extends to the whole mathematical library (with the Numerics annex)
