A Bit Overcomplicated
Lets say you have a 64-bit integer. You want the first 42-bits. Now, if your language has a bitshift operator, you'd do something like largeNumber >> 22. But what if your language also has all sorts of advanced stream processing and map functions?

SAML Is Insecure by Design
SAML uses signatures based on computed values. The practice is inherently insecure and thus SAML as a design is insecure.

Nim by example
Nim is a powerful statically typed language that allows the programmer expressiveness without compromising run-time performance. As a general purpose programming language, it gives the same sort of power and performance as C++, but in a nicer package and with even more powerful tools!
