On: Should JavaScript be split into two languages?

The problem with Google compiler developers is that they will do a search of the google3 repository, find no uses (because Google doesn’t do any advanced math, for example) and declare the language feature to be useless.

Which is ironic because I use Google Sheets a lot and occasionally run into problems when it doesn't support BigInt calculations. Sheets is the best excuse Google has for keeping BigInt support in the language.

Excel does not support BigInt either, so Google has no reason to implement it in their cheap imitation.
