⚡ Why Integer no longer stores its value as a String

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Kotools Types 5.2.0 changes its experimental Integer from a string-backed model to platform-specific arbitrary-precision numeric types.
Arithmetic and comparisons now operate directly on numeric values, with parsing and formatting handled only at the boundaries.
This improves performance and scalability for large-integer work by removing repeated string conversion overhead.
The update also removes the runtime dependency on Kotlin/Native.
