Please no more comments to the extent of "i can define a much larger number in only 1 bit". What makes my blog post (hopefully) interesting is that I consider tiny programs for computing huge numbers in non-cheating languages, that are not specifically equipped for doing so.

A better title might have been "fastest growing function with 64bit arguments". The main value of this article is really the various functions that take larger strides to cover a finite range that's significantly larger than 2^64-1.
