Long things - Strings and Numbers
Added support for BigInt when the number exceeds safe integers.
Added formatting for multiline-strings when stringifying. Looks nicer.
Appreciate your thoughts here overall, and your preference to leave some things out. Maybe you want to cherry-pick the things you like (if any) and close this one. But I was glad to find this repo and might continue to iterate on it a bit in an upcoming project that I am spiking on right now.
Support for bigints landed thanks to Gouvernathor in #41 and #42. As for the other features included here, they don't fully preserve the values which is not something I want to do in this library.
Side note: the code in here is perhaps not the most readable, as it uses quite a few tricks to improve performance, make the GC work less, and compress logic in a compact form to reduce code size. It also lacks proper comments/guidance and can be quite obscure at times.
I might eventually iterate again on the core implementation to refactor a few things, further improve performance, and eventually work a bit more on cold-start performance. Don't know when, time and motivation are quite rare... 😅
