From @jhi

(This is a much longer shot than the hexadecimal floats I reported earlier. Not necessarily the most urgent but for .. completeness?)

But while we are on the subject of more bases... quite many languages support literals and input/output bases 2-36 (36 = 10 + 26 ASCIIbets, in lower or upper). No, there are no obvious ways to continue the digits. Base64? Well, which Base64?

Looking over at http​://rosettacode.org/wiki/Literals/Integer

BASErDIGITS

  BASE in decimal, literal 'r', and then the digits, e.g. 7r15 for 12

  Clojure, Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp (#BASErDIGITS)

BASEbDIGITS

  In J, but J is really... different.

:BASE<DIGITS>

  Perl 6, e.g. :3<100110> (really...? that's... weird)

BASE#DIGITS

  PostScript
