Good examples:

  2.days().from_now()   (Rust)

vs.

  2.days.from_now       (Ruby)

I'd probably still prefer Smalltalk:

  2 days fromNow.

It seems to me that many distinctions we still suffer from are quite arbitrary. Yes, having numbers be objects (boxed or tagged) is one way of achieving this sort of uniform handling, but you can also achieve it statically.

Just like you don't have to switch to a "scripting" language for expressive file manipulation:

  file:hello.world := 'Hello World!'.

EDIT: typo.
