Hmm, got what you mean. I do find it somewhat strange that the limitation exists _at all_. I mean, I understand why it's there, but it just seems like a...

Sounds like an interesting experiment, but I don't know if we'd want to require an unwieldy dependency like LLVM. :) Perhaps we could at something like https://c9x.me/compile/ instead?

Now that I think about it, LLVM IR generation could be really nice and interesting to have as an optional disabled-by-default feature. Who knows, maybe we can compile Numbat code...

This would probably be fun to work on, but would those optimizations really help performance much? If it's a small performance gain for more code complexity and maintenance burden, then...

That's a fair point, but I think we have to be careful with any optimizer we add. Those things can get unfathomably huge and complicated, so we need to take...

Related to https://github.com/dart-lang/i18n/issues/197. > it is safe to use Arabic numbers (0123456789) for all. I disagree (at least for locales other than `ar`). If the device's locale uses eastern numerals...

Yes, my objection was mainly against the idea of using western numerals for ALL Arabic locales. Mixing them in the same locale is definitely even worse though.
