Groovy is pretty wild. It's like, honey, you need me to make this a BigInteger for you? I got you honey, don't even worry about it.

Yeah, I kind of respect the stance, because it knows what it wants to be, but I also wrap number types into a separate data type to document that maybe you shouldn't multiply a port number by the wheel count and pass that into the temperature parameter, because I want more fine-grained typing, not one-size-fits-all.

I love the idea of "tiny types" like that and wish they were built into more languages.
