If I took all the coworkers I’ve had in 30 years of coding whom I could really trust with the sort of bit fiddling array buffers, I could populate maybe two companies and everyone else would be fucked.

TypedArray is a toy. Very few domains actually work well with this sort of data. Statistics, yes. Games? Do all the time, but also games: are full of glitches used by speed runners, due to games playing fast and loose to maintain an illusion they are doing much more per second than they should be able to.

DataView is a bit better. I am endlessly amazed at how many times I managed to read people talk about TypedArrays and SharedByteArrays before I discovered that DataView exists and has existed basically forever. Somebody should have mentioned it a lot, lot sooner.
