coming from C/C++, I am shocked I can't find easy ways to do low-level stuff, like casting between signed and unsigned values while keeping the internal bit representation of a value ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Take a look at UInt

val signedInt: Int = -123456
val unsignedInt: UInt = signedInt.toUInt()

You can use and, or, xor, and shl/shr for shifts

val a: UInt = 0xFFFFFFFEu
val b: Int = -10
val result = a and b.toUInt()
