Go code usually tries to avoid such stutter: 'sort.Interface', 'big.Int' etc. - A struct with a single field could be replaced by the field itself. OTOH, it would enable coding errors by applying arithmetic operators to it directly, so it's maybe justified in this case if that was the intention. - I'd prefer a single constructor 'New(int64)' and methods 'SetString', 'SetFloat' etc. > The benchmarks: (Decimal is the shopspring library, big Int/Float are the stdlib) I don't consider comparing performances of 64 bit integer arithmetic and arbitrary sized arithmetic very useful. -- -j -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
