I think the code you linked shows exactly why generics are needed for these kinds of methods. By introducing a single generic, you could reduce it from 500 lines to 20, and make it work for all types, not just the built-in ones. It would also remove the need to have different method names.

I think that makes it less complex, as the developer doesn't need to think about the exact underlying type of the array when calling Take (which is irrelevant to its implementation).

No one is writing 500 lines of code - just as when you use the generics syntax you don’t write the code that is generated by the compiler in response.

You could save about 10 lines, specifically these 10:

You would still need the comparable ~40 lines of “generic” code:
