Thank you for your feedback @desruisseaux !

While Arrays.stream(values).min() can indeed be used for int, long, and double, 
I believe that Math.min(values...) provides a more concise and intuitive 
alternative for these cases. Developers might prefer the simplicity of using a 
single method, especially when working with smaller sets of values where 
creating a stream might feel excessive.

As you pointed out, the Streams API does not support float arrays directly. The 
Math.min(float...) method addresses this gap, offering a consistent API for all 
primitive types.

Including varargs-based Math.min methods for all primitive types ensures 
consistency across the Math class and improves code readability.

I hope this clarifies the motivation behind the proposal. Please let me know if 
you have further suggestions or feedback!
