That has always seemed like a strange omission, but I can't say it's really caused me distress :)

Personally, I'm looking forward to the `half` type, the extra GC diagnostic info, improved app trimming, improved ASN and certificate handling, and of course the improved performance and increased reach of Span. But I think most of all, I'm looking forward to a long term plan and no more .NET Standard/Core mismatch.

The half type is going to be obsolete instantly. There are quite a few other new floating types becoming popular recently: bfloat16, TF32, etc

I wish they made C# support a notion of generic alrgebras.
