Using Rust datatypes via RPC

[anfractuosity]

Hi,

I'm just wondering if you could point me in the right direction, on how to use non-standard
datatypes, such as those which are specific to Rust, such as bigints, via RPC.

Would I need to represent the data as say an array of bytes, then use
Rusts transmute feature to convert to a bigint somehow, or is there a better way?

cheers

Using the Cap'n Proto Data type sounds sensible to me. However, I would shy away from using transmute(). It looks like BigInt has functions like from_bytes_le() that would be better suited for that purpose.
