Hello TinkerPop Community, Currently, when a floating-point number is provided without a suffix in Gremlin Lang (e.g., 1.0 or -123.456), it's automatically converted to a BigDecimal. This differs from most programming languages where floating-point literals without suffixes are typically treated as double-precision values.
I have created a PR targeting 3.8.x which changes GremlinLangScriptEngine to treat float literals as Double by default to align the behavior of Gremlin Lang with common programming language conventions and user expectations. This modification changes how floating-point literals without explicit type suffixes (like 'm', 'f', or 'd') are handled in the GenericLiteralVisitor class. Users who need BigDecimal precision can still use the 'm' suffix (e.g., 1.0m). Gremlin Groovy will be unchanged and still default to BigDecimal for float literals. Please take a look if you have any concerns and leave a comment to open up discussion. https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/3074 Thanks, Andrea
