If there's one thing I've always really appreciated about Groovy, it's that it used BigDecimal as the default for fractions, because 9 times out of 10, you need accuracy more than you need high performance and large exponents (and if you do need high performance, you wouldn't be using Groovy anyway).

Sadly most languages don't support something like that out of the box.
