One of the most awaited features of Microsoft .NET 2.0 is generics. Generics promise to increase type safety, improve performance, reduce code duplication and eliminate unnessecary casts. The most obvious application of generics in the framework class library are the generic collections in the new System.Collections.Generic namespace. Much has been written about those, but they are not the topic of this article.

After reading this article I realized that it was somewhat over my head as I am primarily a web developer that doesn't have such issues much of the time. With that said, C# and .NET is supposed to work not only with different languages but also with different purposes (ie web applications). Maybe then the reason that something like your IArithmetic<T> (which I really have no understanding of whatsoever
could have been left out because other languages such as C++ or C are available for performing more mathmatical type opperations. This is just a thought, and from what I understand, I do agree what you are talking about makes tons of sense. Good Article!
