I'm looking at adding bitwise AND and OR to my programming language. Do I add & and | operators, methods x.and(y) or a library bitwise::and(x, y)? My inclination is to add infix operators (concise and familiar) but syntax is such precious real estate.

I'm experimenting with imitating window UI elements when showing code snippets on my website. What do you think? Do the familiar dots of the title bar help, or is it just confusing decoration? First image is the current style, the second image has the window UI.

Do you think language/API docs websites should support comments? Pros: Adds context, familiar format, engages community Cons: Can disincentivise contributions, comments might promote bad practices I've only seen PHP and clojuredocs offer this.
