As far as the API is concerned it's an integer expressed in big-endian binary. 99168 1 ap 2014-01-27 17:28:24 +0000 What are the use cases that are currently not well served with current API? It is trivial to get a view of a different type when needed: new Uint32Array(myUint8View.buffer); I suggest WONTFIX resolution for this bug, as the current solution works well. 99328 2 info 2014-01-28 18:35:28 +0000 new Uint32Array(myUint8View.buffer); will only work, if the buffer length is a multiple of 4. But I agree, we have no advantage of ArrayBuffer (even if I suggested it, originally). +1 for WONTFIX
