I know it's an odd question, but does JavaScript have the capacity to work with double's as opposed to single floats? (64 bit floats vs. 32 bits.)

In javascript type number it's float 64-bit number that support IEEE 754 standard and it's like double in C. And you can create 32-bit typed arrays by commands below and control each byte in each component by binding corresponded buffer.

let a = new Float32Array(length);
let b = new Float64Array(length);

But note that it's not supported in IE9, here browser compatibility table.

If you want extended presicion like long double, you can use double.js or decimal.js library.
