Bigger
This is a crystal native implementation of an arbitrary arithmetic math library. This library aims to provide the same methods and interface that crystal's own big library provides.
FAQ
Is this faster than big?
Nope.
Is it more memory efficient?
Still no.
Is it written in Crystal?
Yes.
Can it be made more efficient?
Absolutely. All operations were implemented using a naive algorithm. There's lots of room for improvement.
Is it actually bigger?
No. But it could be! Maybe! Being written in crystal means it can be modified as needed to support different use cases.

Development
Specs are the lifeblood of any library's success. When making changes, make sure to run the specs frequently. For convenience, you can use:
> make test
> make test-prod
The first one runs all of the specs using a base of UInt8, while the latter runs specs using with a base of UInt32. Running with bases of UInt8 tends to make things easier to debug as it's easier to test around the digit overflow points.
