> how it's require to hand-implement floats to get constant-time operations.

That and not be at the mercy of someone changing the current rounding mode behind your back.

Also hand-implement floats ... not likely to be particularly efficient, no ?

I took a quick glance at the section "About those floating points". Whomever designed that algorithm used the biggest footgun ever. I mean floating point numbers? For crypto?

Even if he can mathematically prove is algorithm is solid, he's going to lose 99% of his intended audience the moment he's going to use the words crypto and floating point in the same sentence.
