A comment on The State of JavaScript - Brendan Eich. Parent comment

Is the lack of bignums (more than int64) the real issue? JS has IEEE754 binary double so that's the same as in Python.

Library code can be cross-compiled a number of ways, so I wonder whether the blocker is the lack of Pythonic long.
