scheme arithmetic library for javascript, copyright (c) 2010, 2011, 2012 john tobey jtobey@john-edwin-tobey.org copyright (c) 2009 matthew crumley email@matthewcrumley.com licensed under the mit license, file license. big integer implementation based on javascript-biginteger, the scheme language supports "exact" arithmetic and mixing exact with inexact numbers. several basic operations, including add, subtract, multiply, and divide, when given only exact arguments, must return an exact, numerically correct result. they are allowed to fail due to running out of memory, but they are not allowed to return approximations the way ecmascript operators may. for example, adding exact 1/100 to exact 0 one hundred times produces exactly 1, not 1.0000000000000007 as in javascript. raising 2 to the 1024th power returns a 308-digit integer with complete precision, not infinity as in ecmascript. this implementation provides all functions listed in the r6rs (i recommend the pdf) scheme specification, section 11.7, along with eqv? from section 11.5. (eqv? uses javascript's === to compare non-numbers.). exact numbers support the standard ecma number formatting methods (tofixed, toexponential, and toprecision) without a fixed upper limit to precision. this release contains a plugin api designed to support alternative implementations of four broad types: exact integer, exact rational, inexact real, and

QUESTION
Let's think about the following situation.
The Go routine creates a byte array where packs a Uint64 number 5577006791947779410
in 8 bytes Big Endian [77, 101, 130, 33, 7, 252, 253, 82]
.
In JavaScript code I receive these bytes as Uint8Array
. We know that JavaScript doesn't currently support Uint64 as safe numeric type and cannot perform bitwise operations on integers larger than 32 bits, so things like buf[0] << 56
will never work.
So what is the process of decoding these bytes directly to numeric string "5577006791947779410"
?
P.S. I know there are plenty of libraries for working with big integers in JavaScript, but generally they are huge and provide lots of mathematical operations, which I don't need here. I am looking for a simple modern straightforward solution for just decoding BE-packed Uint64 and Int64 bytes to numeric string. Do you have anything in mind?
