Numbers. Everything is a float in JS. Python has ints that transparently turn into bigints on demand, floats, and if you need it a whole library of C numeric types to do interop (along with complex numbers and all kinds of other great stuff in python's standard library).
My point was more about the object model itself being incredibly similar, rather than the data types.
However, much appreciated.
It's perhaps interesting to note that browsers pretty much already implement this behaviour for js, ie., by spec everything is a float -- but vms don't start with a float type for much of the numeric data stored; and transparently move to it when needed.
