I'm pretty sure it's not planned for 1.0.
Now due to the need of arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic for
currencies/finance at Status, we wrapped mpdecimal, available
[here](https://github.com/status-im/nim-decimal). Now the wrapper is below
low-level and overload like `+` must be
OK, so core Nim doesn't have an arbitrary precision math capability. Is it
something planned for in the roadmap to 1.0?
At Status we require that for cryptographic work and we are developing and
supporting the following:
* nim-ttmath:
[https://github.com/status-im/nim-ttmath](https://github.com/status-im/nim-ttmath).
This wraps the [ttmath C++ bignum library](https://www.ttmath.org/). This
requires the
To add to Stephan's answer, I have tried both packages when solving puzzles
from "Euler project":
* "bigints" is pure Nim and has the best API in my opinion, but it is about
twice slower than "bignum" and has some issues (see comments in source); it is
still a work in progress.
* "bignum"
Are the nimble packages bignum and bigints not good enough for you?
I think one is a wrapper, the other is pure Nim from smart Mr. Felsing.
I have Ruby/Crystal code that uses arbitrary precision integer numbers (really
BIG numbers). Looking at Nim's math libraries they don't appear to be arbitrary
precision.
