@sir_pepe 64-bit integers when?

@buherator arbitrary-precision integers have been a thing since ES2020: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt

If you need 64 bits specifically, you can probably get somewhere with BigInt64Array or BigUint64Array

@sir_pepe TIL thanks! I'll have to check the availability in Kaitai...

@sir_pepe So, when is this power of addition coming to C++? https://onlinegdb.com/4M-9r2W9G
