Every day I learn something new... and stupid.
So basically, the only numeric type of javascript is a float, which can only represent integers up to 2^53 accurately. Not good if you need an int larger than that.

If you need an int larger than that in JS, you use a bignum library.

Ow. Ow. Ow.
At least the bignum library will be easier to write in JS than in C...
