Though Haskell is one of my favorite languages, I'm not sure it's the best choice for the sort of bit-twiddling that you two are doing here. C is not a very user-friendly language but that is partly due to the access to the "bare metal" that C allows.

I have recently been looking at Julia and I am quite interested, as it seems to be designed for mathematical and scientific uses. It also seems to have a large selection of integer data types.

Anyway, I am following this thread with interest even though it's well above my pay grade. Carry on!
