I watched original release video from over 14 years ago.
The point was to declutter, time moved on. If generics are missing there is opposite effect if there are multiple libraries doing same things. None of decimal implementations including in Python are good to me, as gets ugly very quickly with visual noise. There are proposals but all would end up like Python, who wants to type Decimal(“0.2”) should be 0.2 only.
If to implement core to be treated as fixed point arithmetic’s with decent precision up to 9 to cover crypto and no added syntax. People could do their esotherics with float32 or 64 as variables anyway.
Of course they made originally GO for Google only.
Many generics are missing: like simply Tkinter equivalent GUI, what 1990 QBASIC had INKEY$ (to read input key), time, power, random was all out of box- single standard.
In Python multiple time function exist too. I still use QBASIC to prototype, VGA standard each color as integer, can draw on screen and use keys if needed and have plenty precision and instantly .exe too. QBASIC was compiling with two math options.
Out of box base 10, with 9 decimal spaces would be enough for generic use.
