Right now, 64 positive integers support bitwise operations but through code (LargePositiveInteger). Any plan to move those calculations/operations to primitives to speed things up? <br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476379454522_46058"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476379454522_46014"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476379454522_46100"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476379454522_46014">That would be so wonderful and nice for someone like me wanting to fully use a 64-bit architecture & Squeak/Cog/Pharo/Whatever/VM for a chess engine project!</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476379454522_45883"> </div><div class="signature" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476379454522_45831">----------------- <br>Benoît St-Jean <br>Yahoo!
