So far, Synchronet is the only BBS software I know of that uses JavaScript as a language for mods (other BBS packages use other languages - I believe Mystic uses Python?).  But one problem with that is that a JavaScript door would only work on Synchronet BBSes (and aside from that, there is no standardized JavaScript door development API).  The advantage of something like OpenDoors is that you can develop BBS doors that will work with any BBS software.  So I see no reason it shouldn't go 64-bit if desired.
