Javascript was mentioned in the talk; because of its weak typing and plenty of APIs that take strings, floating point printing is pretty common.

  That's really sad.

    Why? Did you forget to read the implied "just like any other language that's being used in a graphical context, where live numbers need to be shown"?

  lack of 64bit integer maybe you mean, but all languages need (de)serializations so this problem is very common
• amelius 8y ago
  Often, numbers in JS happen to be just integers. Would the implementation optimize for that case?
  • Veedrac 8y ago
    Javascript JITs specialize for integers already. I don't know if Ryū does specifically though.
    • ulfjack 8y ago
      It doesn't optimize for ints right now. I thought about that, but haven't tried it yet.
