New blog post: Fast nonbinary arithmetic https://fredrikj.net/blog/2026/fast-nonbinary-arithmetic/
I'm adding support in FLINT for bignums in any radix (base 10, base 11...) which are nearly as efficient as machine-radix bignums for many operations (and for some operations even faster). This enables big speedups for operations like base conversion and p-adic arithmetic. High-precision base-10 arithmetic is 10-20 times faster than mpdecimal, the C library underlying Python's decimal type.
