What Hacker News says?
Timur Latypoff's page (elsewhere in this thread but also: https://latypoff.com/tree-calculus-visualized/ ) shows a graphical view of this; you get to lists first —easy because tree structure is native here—and then a (natural) number is just a list of booleans, of arbitrary length, least significant first. Very elegant.
