Beyond IEEE754 Floating Point: Next Generation Computer Arithmetic
A new data type
- Simpler hardware implementation from 2 to thousands of bits.
- Larger dynamic range, higher accuracy, better closure under arithmetic operations, and simpler exception-handling
- Unlike unum arithmetic, posits do not require interval-type mathematics or variable size operands, and they round if an answer is inexact, much the way floats do.

TLDR: It is much more flexible and maintanable to inject styles via JS, and there are no obvious downsides

This has become quite the hot topic lately. It's been talked about at a number of conferences and meetups I've been at personally lately. I've seen slide
Modeling Universal Instruction Selection (ICPPCP'15)
> This paper introduces a graph-based universal representation that unifies data and control flow for both programs and processor instructions.
