Playing around with Zig for the first time and it allows you to define integers of arbitrary bit-width (up to i65535, or u65535). For example, i578 refers to a signed 578-bit integer. Haven't seen that before, pretty neat! ziglang.org/documentatio...

$Zig example code: const std = @import("std"); pub fn main() void { const n: i578 = 1234567876543212345678987654567890; std.debug.print("big intereger = {}\n", .{n}); }$
