yes,
usually when you use a language like Ruby, Python or Dart that let 
32bits/64bits to overflow to big ints,
and you have an application that actually have ints that overflow, you 
end up with a performance problem.
Throwing an exception if an overflow occurs (like if there is a division 
by zero) is in my opinion a better semantics.
