Summary
This blog post discusses why the square root functions for 32-bit and 64-bit floating points in Rust are not defined as `const`, pointing to a lack of implementation efforts. It raises questions about the difficulty of making it `const` for those without prior compiler experience and inquires about existing efforts on this feature.
