The standard library includes a HTTP server but not an arbitrary precision decimal type? What the living fuck?

Why would they have a type for a specific base?

implying you can't implement it with a variable radix

When was the last time you needed that? Are you an accountant or something?

Literally every serious language has at least one idiomatic way of doing infinite-precision decimals:

C: libgmp
C++: boost::multiprecision
Lisp: builtin
Python: Decimal
Java: java.math.BigDecimal
Ruby: BigDecimal
C#: Decimal
Perl: bignum

The only big language I can think of without easy big decimals is fucking Javascript.

Picolisp sucks. It doesn't even have arrays!

Go does suck, but if you really want it, you could probably use that naive bignum in Suigin's hebinath thread with about ten minutes of translating it.

nope, that can only do rational numbers at best, which is extremely slow and totally unsuitable

You appear to be blind.
It has Int, Rat and Float.
