anyone have any thoughts on adding reader support for bin & oct literals? just a convenience but would remove some mental friction (for me at least)

user=> 064
52

js strict mode disallows that I believe. ES6 added 0o64, which has been in chrome & friends for couple years

ah cljs

the way js handles strings makes it tricky

I think {radix}r{number} should work in Cljs

They do, and so do 0x… and 0…

yes and reader defers to parseInt with radix arg. Im just saying convenience.

we've got hex why not bin and oct

@pat You’d like ClojureScript’s reader to support JavaScript numeric literals?

yes, I'm just concerned that a patch gets rejected because that behavior is not in LispReader.java
