Personally, I like Haskell's treatment of numbers. I wrote a comment about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18565234 https://news.ycombinator.com/

Personally, I like Haskell's treatment of numbers. I wrote a comment about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18565234 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18565234 Don't really know much about surreal numbers, but I found the following library that defines Fractional and Num instances for it, so that should enable Haskell to work with surreal numbers as if they were native to the language: https://github.com/Lacaranian/surreal https://github.com/Lacaranian/surreal There's also this module on transcendental numbers: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/numeric-prelude-0.4.2/docs/Algebra-Transcendental.html https://hackage.haskell.org/package/numeric-prelude-0.4.2/do... auxym might be right, though, that you might be better served with a language that is specialized more in mathematics, rather than a general purpose language.
