Yes, thank you. FWIW, I use these when I am working with WebGL. However, 
the fact that I need to use (new) for each member converting the 
following struct:
____________________________
struct someStruct {
   unsigned long id;
   char username[16];
   float amountDue;
};
____________________________


to the following typed array representation:
____________________________
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(24);

// ... read the data into the buffer ...

var idView = new Uint32Array(buffer, 0, 1);
var usernameView = new Uint8Array(buffer, 4, 16);
var amountDueView = new Float32Array(buffer, 20, 1);
____________________________


Is still troublesome. I will do some benchmarks wrt looping through 
functional ops, and their intrusive equivalents. AFAICT, the intrusive 
technique basically has to win. :^o
