Hello bearophile,
Steven Schveighoffer:
What's wrong with d2's bigint that Don has written?
MPIR is "not invented here" :-) Moving part of the development of a
very tricky part of code full of long asm routines (see their amount
of code finely tuned for different CPUs) to someone else that has
more resources and dedication is sometimes positive. It frees Don to
do something else for D, allows to use potentially less buggy code
(because more people use the same lib), and MPIR contains several
good numerical algos and numeric types that are missing in Don's
bigint.
If I'm remembering correctly who's who, it reasonably likely that Don
had a hand in some of the code one or the other of those libs.
Someone around here has contributed to some high performance numerics
libs.
I have never contributed to any non-D libs.

Close enought for my point, (unless the Don referenced there isn't you).
