> remove bit twiddling — System programming languages like C, C++, Odin, and Zig need to manipulate bits, but a scientific DSL like Fortran does not need bit twiddling operators like &, |, ~, and so on. Bits are, after all, hardware-level concepts.

Yeah no, your language will be DOA if you don't have bit twiddling, because you can't write arbitrary binary file parser / writer without some sort of bit manipulation.

Even matlab have bit twiddling function
