Do you have a minute for our lord and savoir TypeScript?
As long as it can distinguish between int and uint - yesss!
TypeScript is still built on JavaScript, all numbers are IEEE-754 doubles 🙃
Edit: Actually I lied, there are BigInts which are arbitrarily precise integers but I don't think there's a way to make them unsigned. There also might be a byte-array object that stores uint8 values but I'm not completely sure if I'm remembering that correctly.
Not only is there a UInt8Array, there's also a bunch of others: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray#typedarray_objects
