   The real original sin of C isn't NULL, or void*, or array indexing, or strcat...

   It's signed integers.

     @foone will I be able to buy a dev cert to sign my integers?

     @finch look, Lua exists if you want to use it

     @foone you need to solve the root cause, no more integers, everything is an n-precision float all the time. Never have to cast again.

     @esther_alter of course. floats are even worse!

     @growf don't let your numbers get too close to the fire! you'll get singed integers!

     @foone A decent number of my compiler errors were search and replacing "singed" for "signed".

     @foone those are the natural numbers then, not integers.

     Proposal: in their 64 bit incarnation you call them big naturals

     @wotsac so instead of int and bigint, they can be nat and bignat!
