🥱 Strings are just arrays of numbers.
🧐 Numbers are just arrays of booleans with a sufficiently small word size.

I'm incapable of thinking of programming as a mathematical discipline. Operational semantics or dust!

I’m pretty certain @Jack Rusher does.

a boolean is a small number, a number is a boolean with a lot of states, a string is a 256bit encoding of a really long number 👀
