neonumeric - C++ arbitrary precision arithmetic library with arbitrary precision
integers, floats and rationals:

https://github.com/i42output/neonumeric

It hasn't been formally released yet as it still requires more extensive
testing. It will be used as part of my universal compiler, neos, that can
compile any programming language and will be used for the neos implementation of
Python (Python has big integers).

Message ends.

The repo says:

Free C++ library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic (permissive software license).

Features:

Multiple precision integers, floats and rationals.
Numbers can be any fixed precision (specifiable as a template parameter) or can dynamically grow in precision based on the precision of operands.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suggest changing a few things:

Arithmetic C++ library (permissive software license)

Arbitrary-precision integers, floats and rationals.
Numbers can be fixed precision (specifiable as a template parameter) or can
grow in precision based on the precision of operands.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

That gets rid of the phrase "multiple precision" which in my opinion is
not the same as arbitrary.

Try reading what I actually wrote, dear.

You will get the same room in the same psychiatric ward like

There is no projection.
_You_ have megalomania, not me.
And there's also no Dunning Kruger effect.
You can't assess your capabilites, not me.

Someone who says that he is capable of writing a compiler that
translates every language has megalomania. No one can do this.

Just because you can't make one it doesn't follow that nobody else can.

I remember when Bonita tried to convince me that a mutex must use an
atomic counter.

True, but lots of very knowledgeable people have tried and failed. And
although you use the present tense "my universal compiler, neos, that
/can/ compile any programming language" (emphasis mine) you currently
have nothing to show -- no compiler for any language, no paper outlining
how you plan to overcome the problems that stumped others, nothing but
what appears to be a false claim about neos can do. If you want this
project to be taken seriously, you are going about it the wrong way.

Get atan2, cos and sin, and I have some code to run it against.

It needs arbitrary precision! :^)

Not "wrong way", "my way".
