It's important to highlight integer support and bitwise operators. For Luau, it's rare that a full 64-bit integer type is necessary - double-precision types support integers up to 2^53 (in Lua which is used in embedded space, integers may be more appealing in environments without a native 64-bit FPU). However, there's a *lot* of value in having a single number type, both from performance perspective and for consistency. Notably, Lua doesn't handle integer overflow properly, so using integers also carries compatibility implications.
