Already have, there are many more like that on a branch I haven't committed yet. I'm very happy with it: https://github.com/ityonemo/Primes/blob/f157b63d91375

Already have, there are many more like that on a branch I haven't committed yet. I'm very happy with it: https://github.com/ityonemo/Primes/blob/f157b63d91375c62f11051dbd484615dbd17045c/PrimeZig/solution_3/src/wheel.zig#L163 https://github.com/ityonemo/Primes/blob/f157b63d91375c62f110... I've also verified that binary representations of unusual datatypes are correct and have the expected properties (~>5 yr ago, paid gig, actually my first paid gig): https://github.com/interplanetary-robot/SigmoidNumbers/blob/master/test/Posits5-test.jl https://github.com/interplanetary-robot/SigmoidNumbers/blob/... https://github.com/interplanetary-robot/SigmoidNumbers/blob/master/test/warlpiri-recasting.jl https://github.com/interplanetary-robot/SigmoidNumbers/blob/... Extremely happy with it in all cases. You can't convince me otherwise. Zig and Julia would be poorer languages if not for binary literals. My life would have been more annoying without it. It's a tool I have reached for in the past and will continue reaching for when appropriate and tasteful, I have not "abandoned it". At least, I'm one datapoint that refutes your assertion.
