I believe both Ada and Common Lisp also share this ability, though Ada has nice support in its type system for doing things like mapping a portion of mmio register as bitstring that gets further defined as new type (whether enum, or integer, or string etc.)

If Ada has something like this, I haven’t seen it yet, but I’d be pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise. I’ve heard about lisps having bitstrings support, but it was only briefly explained to me years ago and I haven’t seen it since.
