Tonight I hated julia, REPL and overflows

have the choice to redo entirely the computation in BigInt (very slow) or (better) to use SaferIntegers

Maybe try BitIntegers.jl, they work well for me, much faster than bigints

ANN: BitIntegers.jl (Int256, ...) and BitFloats.jl (Float80, Float128)

I’m glad to present two new registered packages which add more “native-like” types to Julia, mostly implemented in the same way as Base builtin integer and floating point types. Both packages can lead to segfaults that I don’t understand, and they are under-tested, so they must be considered as experimental; other contributors will be needed to overcome the shortcomings (read the respective READMEs for more information). That said, they can already be useful BitIntegers.jl exports s…
