Is it planned to support long type? Such values must be stored now in String fields. |

It depends on what you mean by "long" type. Pkl's Pkl currently doesn't support fixed-sized ints greater than 64 bits (e.g. Int128), nor does it support arbitrarily sized ints (i.e. big ints), and these are things that we are considering supporting in a future release.

I've just double checked and it's true. |

Ints are 64-bit signed integers, which corresponds to what some languages call "long" (e.g. Java).Pkl currently doesn't support fixed-sized ints greater than 64 bits (e.g. Int128), nor does it support arbitrarily sized ints (i.e. big ints), and these are things that we are considering supporting in a future release.
