A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Already proposed <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-44585>

I've been doing quite a bit of binary manipulation lately and `= .and(mask)` `= .or(set)` `= .xor(flip)` aren't quite as nice as `&amp;=` `|=` `^=` in other languages, but would be a much welcome improvement from the current state of things in Kotlin, IMO

The binary operators need to become part of the language at some point, regardless of whether this feature lands, or not.

binary operators is one of the very few point where kotlin still lags behind java

once again, I invite who didn't vote yet to do it <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-1440>

over 100 votes and still nothing.. I'm really puzzled why the community hasnt been listened here
