Thanks! I hope Doppio can become useful to many more people. :)

There is a proposal for value types [0] that Niko Matsakis [1] and Brendan Eich [2] talked about a couple of years back and could be used to implement 64-bit numbers in JS, but I'm still waiting for an implementation or a more complete proposal. Looks like it might be dead in the water, as the proposal hasn't been edited in quite some time, but I do not have my finger on the pulse of browser standards so I could be wrong.

You could use (the compiled and optimized version of) the implementation we have in Scala.js: https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/blob/master/library/src... It is significantly faster, especially for arithmetic operations, and dramatically so for division, remainder, as well as `toString()` (up to 100x speedup). It also contains the unsigned variant of operations (for java.lang.Lond.divideUnsigned for instance).

Oh, nice! I'll take a look at that when I next get the chance. I assumed that Closure's Long library, which is based on GWT's Long implementation, would be well-optimized, and never looked into an alternative.
