I'm implementing a collection of non-cryptographic hash algorithms for use in
tables and data verity in pure-JavaScript with native counterparts.
https://github.com/bigeasy/hash
The hashes I've implemented so far produce keys that are a multiple of 32-bit,
where each 32-bits represents a register in hash algorithm, much like SHA1.
I assume that when encoded to hex, big-endian is the correct endianness for each
register. From what I can see, sha1 encodes it's buffer with the same endianness
as it's hex string representation, so I assume that means that the buffer is
encoded as big endian. Does anyone know for certain?
Now that I'm developing native implementations on my Intel machine, the outcome
is always little endian. Should I convert my 32-bit words to big-endian before
converting them to a `Buffer`?
Also, while I'm at it, what big-endian hardware does Node.js run on at the
moment? Did the port to MIPs ever happen? Anyone running Node.js on an ARM in
big-endian mode? Any past dicussions in Node.js land of endianness and woe?
