yes i know, I thought that is the problem, that js tries to make the string into valid utf8 or something, which it isnt. > However int8 can store up to 127 and beyond you need int16 yes but a string is a char array, and a char is a uint8 isnt it? and a uint8 goes up to 255. I mean the nim string works just fine.
