Please don't, inscrutable bitwise operators are an accident of the past even in systems languages, let alone in a scripting language. I'm not against infix operators for bitwise operations, just please spell them out with keywords rather than giving them sigils.

Likewise, going from `and` and `or` to `&&` and `||` would be a dispiriting regression. This is something that Zig got right.

What kind of person understands and needs bitwise operators but can't easily remember & | ~ and the arrows for shift? It's very little information.

The part I'd call a hassle is the different kinds of right shift but you have that same hassle if you use keywords.

I like using the and/or keywords for logical operations. Now let's make bitwise look significantly different from that.

Doesn't Zig also have bitwise operators?

The btiwise operators library doesn’t go away
