"we don't use 64 bit integers because a lot of times they take up more space [than 32 bits]" - @cmuratori 2014 (Sorry, I lol'd at that)
@DyadGame As a simple example, using an x64 register as 64 bits doesn't actually take up more space than if you used it for 32 bits...

@DyadGame Similarly, on transients, often times doubling the size of a transient buffer isn't a problem, so you just don't care. -
@DyadGame So, hard to express, but you don't always care about the extra size of the 64 bits, but a lot of times you do, so... - Show replies
