I understand the benefits of a single numeric type, but a type that doesn't support full 64 bits is just painful. It makes documentation smaller and benchmarks look good but often becomes a problem in real usages.
Wren does support 64 bit floats. For 64 bit ints, I find it's most awkward for interop with other languages, such as when using protobufs. If you control both ends, you can avoid this.
