In Java, you have BigInteger. In Ruby, you have them by default, but not regular ones, and you can use operators with them. In Haskell, you can define +, *, sign and negate for your own numeric types and Haskell already knows how to do all the other stuff numbers can do (such as subtraction). You also get built-in Int and Integer numeric types (the latter of which is infinite-size)

Chess boxing

Chess boxing or chessboxing is a hybrid fighting sport that combines the two traditional sports, chess and boxing. The competitors fight in alternating rounds of chess and boxing. Chessboxing was invented by Dutch performance artist Iepe Rubingh in 2003. What was initially only thought to be an art performance quickly turned into a fully developed competitive sport. Chessboxing is particularly popular in Germany, Great Britain, India and Russia. == History == Rubingh’s idea to create a new sport fusing the two disciplines - chess and boxing - originates from the 1992 comic “Froid Équateur“ written...
