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.

Are there any developer experience advantages for `x := 1` over `let x = 1`? A `let` keyword probably improves parsing error behaviour, and makes declarations more visible. := is more concise though.

@cstanhope Interesting, I didn't know that about Pascal! Go does make returning an accumulator a little more concise. Compare with e.g. Python: def foo(): res = [] # not needed in Go for x in y: if z: res.append(x) return res That's the biggest advantage I can see though.
