     @jyn @glyph
     maybe it goes:
     * everything is a string
     * numbers are doubles
     * now that you're a big kid, we can trust you with an int
     * you get to decide how big those ints are! but in a really annoying unportable way.
     * you can do pointer math into your numbers and rewrite them in pieces.

     @foone @jyn I wonder if we would all be happier or sadder if we slid into the parallel dimension where web browsers never used JavaScript because they used Tcl instead

     @foone@digipres.club @jyn@tech.lgbt @glyph@mastodon.social you get to decide how big those ints are! but in a really annoying unportable way. Is this...is this about C?
