Providing built-in 2-component and 3-component vector types in Ona script would be useful in catering to common math types used in interactive multi-media software development like games.

The alternative would be to implement them as a library feature that Ona binds to Ona script via the native runtime interface but that would make them heap-allocated objects, which for such a frequently used data type would be detrimental to overall application performance.

Further, we're already paying the cost for ~16 byte value types across the whole VM (much like stock Lua), so using of the space in the aligned memory of values we're already paying for would be advantageous.
