Support for big integers

Open LorisFriedel opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello!

Would it be possible to improve the current integer precision? I understand that all numbers in Jsonnet are represented as double (as defined in IEEE754), but for very big integers (larger than 2^53 IIRC) this gives a pretty poor precision.

If sticking to the language specifications is the priority, maybe it could be considered to add "big numbers" features in the standard library? Or something else?

WDYT?
