There is no computer numbers and mathematical numbers, there are only mathematical numbers and the limited (failed by circumstances) representation of mathematical numbers existing for low level lenguages since the ancient times of computing.
Which should be improved - failed representation eliminated - wherever and whenever possible. Especially for new languages. And since there are better and worse representations - actually handling - of numbers accross the languages the criticism of doing badly, not making improvements, expecting to know the whims of a modern lannguage in this regard is absolutely founded!
