1135 :: Error: type mismatch: got (uint64, uint64)

  I got the type mismatch error when making a simple "if A < B:..." comparison where A and B are uint64.

  The error message lists various operator templates, e.g. "system.<(x: int64, y: int64): bool" but there are NO defined operators for unsigned variants!

  Is this on purpose?

  Why are unsigned integers "discouraged"? They are a native CPU type.

  I've written about this issue before. See this post.
