Or NSIS, which I've worked in a lot—the string is the only type. Integer operations will parse it as a number, perform the operation and turn it back into a decimal once more for storage in the string.

Tcl originally did the same thing. Semantically it still does, but values in the Tcl interpreter were changed to a string/union pair so that conversions can be cached.
