The built-in reduce functions are executed in erlang, which has arbitrary 
precision for integers and 64-bit precision for floating point.

Implementing the design document functions in Erlang would be one workaround,

it seems like a language with built in support for big
integers would be ideal, e.g. Python, Ruby, rather than JavaScript.

Both these languages are quite a bit slower than JavaScript, though, and 
performance is often a concern for view indexing.
