It makes mapping the values through said languages a lot easier, and 63 bits should be enough for anyone (or something). Alternatively, there's 53 bits, which is the maximum that javascript can represent: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/307179/what-is-javascripts-highest-integer-value-that-a-number-can-go-to-without-losin It's not going to matter in practice, because that's still fricking huge.
