      beyond CS proofs, static types in num computing are nice bc easier to read, implement, & understand algos.

      Quite agree; JS may evolve to have optional static types but not clear yet how this works in browsers. Meanwhile+

      many programmers need wider integer type than fits in 53-bit mantissa of JS number type, so on to next evo-hop.

      Agreed. But current evo hop seems, as you said, compiler writer oriented. The ergo for users less so.

      My understanding is the largest class of BigInt users will not be doing calculations with them

      Which class of BigInt users do you mean?

      E.g., people passing around something they got from a protobuf, could be a GUID, file size, etc

      Assumption/evidence? protobuf field values sometimes feed into arithmetic. @wycats may have relevant experience.

      Replying to @BrendanEich @littledan and

      indeed. Our code does heavy math on values transported via protobufs.

      Would you do 64-bit math, as an obv. extension -- or are you doing it now the hard way?

      we use real numeric types in Java and do it the slow way in JS. Would like to change tho.
