Congratulations! Timer will be very useful.

Math Gains Postfix Support
[...] Less intuitive for operations like clamp

Why should it be less intuitive? When I first read the article, I thought: "Oh, clamp() must've been defined with an argument order not suitable for the postfix afterthought." But now, I checked in the docs and via testing, and am wondering why you would say that. percentage.clamp(0, 100) looks perfectly fine to me. Rust also uses this approach.

So for now you cannot use postfix for all functions in the Math namespace.

This made me think you made it a hard error to use clamp() that way. But this isn't the case.
