> And python doesn't?

That's not what they stated. They corrected me and pointed me to BigNum.

BigNum is documented in MDN as a "Global Object" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... I don't find a reference to it in the ECMAScriot standsrd, https://262.ecma-international.org/10.0/

Thus I claim the Python approachbiss till better in that specific area.

I don't know Deno's source for their claim. Certainly relevant is what area of Maths you're looking at. For instance looking at reread rations for vectors and matrices might be relevant for different maths problems. The functional approach in some of these things also might be interesting for some Maths problems ... broad topic :)




BigInt as added in ECMAScript 2020, you are seeing and old version: https://262.ecma-international.org/11.0/


Thanks! I thought I clicked on the latest.
