The master branch in JSON gets the following numbers: ```julia julia> using JSON,BenchmarkTools ; for s in ("canada", "citm_catalog", "twitter", "citylots") ; str = readstring("/j/JSON.jl/data/$s.json") ; println("Test: $s") ; @btime...

Yes, I haven't had time yet to get back to that - I'd wanted not to just wrap it, but to rewrite it in Julia for better flexibility. I don't...

Well, you've got the source, does the ICU license allow you to modify that? I don't think there is much danger of getting out of sync with the decNumber code...

@stevengj I'm very willing to help out in getting decNumber to work in Julia, I was going to do it myself, but I don't yet have your mad skills in...

I think we'll be needing this soon, so I'll definitely be testing this package ASAP... (it seems that love of Julia is spreading quickly at the startup I'm consulting for...

@PallHaraldsson Back then, with the 32-bit machines, the memory model was ILP32, i.e. int, long, and pointer types were all 32-bit, and often the C compilers did not yet support...

@stevengj I started programming in the early 70's... (I was in 6th grade... taking courses at the state university), so I have a LOT of dark memories I'd like to...
