The test app will print this error: "the bitwise complement operator is ^" Calling having to build/run an app to see that simple and short answer is not "evidence of magnitudes more friendliness than anything that anyone could possibly write in a comment". It's really the opposite. If the answer is that simple why not just write it there and then add a clarification saying: "by the way, the compiler will also help you with this because we know how hard it is to get rid of the old C habits" Imagine asking somebody if the sky is blue and then instead of getting a simple "Yes" answer you get a piece of source code you need to compile and run to see that "Yes".
