The libraries you listed are too specialized. And they require integration with asset pipeline which is well outside of scope of a programming language.

As for the generic things, I think C# is the only mainstream language which has small vectors, 3x2 and 4x4 matrices, and quaternions in the standard library.

They've got SIMD-accelerated methods for calculating 3d projection matrices. No other ecosystem is even close once you start digging into the details.
