Hi, just wanted to ask if anyone is currently working on optimizing BigInts (especially ones that fit in 64bit), or if it is being considered in some prioritetization efforts?
The proposal [0] and the blog post [1] suggest that it is on the roadmap, I'm just wondering if anything is already happening. I think this would be particulary useful for compilers targeting js (as changing int backend is clearly much easier than changing the target to wasm), such as Scala.js [2], or js_of_ocaml (which is what I have a direct interest in). Could someone estimate how hard would it be to implement the basic optimizations (like BigInt.asIntN(64, b1 + b2) => native addition)?
