From what I'm reading, Pyret numbers are either exact rational numbers (which includes integers) or inexact floating point numbers (presumably, they're disambiguating this by whether or not you use a decimal point).
- mgraczyk 12y agoNice. Still, it's unsettling that they've confounded address space size with integral type width.
- dragonwriter 12y agoAvailable RAM (something 8GB plausibly could refer to, unlike address-space size) is arguably more relevant to the issue here (which is the desirability of not using fixed-width integers and floating point but instead preferring arbitrary-precision rational numbers as the default.)
- shriramkmurthi 12y agoThat is indeed our point. Thanks for explaining it!
