Just want to say I really admire your work. It's sad to see people trolling like this.
Thanks. It's pretty much just a part of my life at this point.
Maybe if you weren't a violent Communist, people wouldn't hate you.

#173What sorts of applications/domains need or benefit from having 128 bit integers?
I found myself asking the same question. 64 bit integers are useful because you'll never fill up an IntMap with a uint64 key, and 256 bit integers are useful because they offer sufficient (128 bit) collision resistance. In my mind, a uint128 is too big for use as an index, and too small as a GUID.
