How is Lua with uint8/16/32 types only?

Question

Lua

Looking for a scripting language for one project. Lua suits everyone, except that all numbers are doubles. And you will need to work with uint8/16/32 with their correct overflows. The question is whether there is some kind of Lua dialect with such a possibility, or is there a solution to this problem by another method?

Answer 1

Native types can be used through ffi or a C library.

Answer 2

If you have LuaJIT, then there is support for int64 and unit64 via cdata: 2LL - int64 number 2ULL - unsigned int64 number Read more here
print(tostring(2222LL + 9999929292929922LL))
