> Hard disagree, big-endian is right and little-endian is wrong. At least, unless you think this year is 2202.
If you think a bit about it, it would have been much more natural to write number in the opposite order compared to what we have now, since we read and manipulate numbers from least-significant digit to most-significant digit and read text left-to-right.
When you read a number like 346624596, you need to parse it twice to know its value, but also to know its magnitude or do anything significant with it. In the opposite order, everything becomes simpler: adding two numbers, knowing the magnitude or ignoring the least-significant digits ("its about 350 millions"), ...
