Could you explain how your second example is cleaner? All I see is that it's longer; the rest is merely a matter of taste. JavaScript's syntax was, amongst others, heavily influenced by C-family languages (which went for `&&` and `||` as well as `&` and `|`).
Next, I think it's confusing that, although we're calling it "bitwise and" and "bitwise or", we would only be able to write `and` or `or` in a logical context; this choice is entirely arbitrary. Bitwise operators would still need to be `&` and `|` since there's no way to tell what your intent is just from the syntax. IMHO, the current operators `&&`, `&`, `||` ,`|` are the cleanest implementation of `and` and `or` that I could think of. On Dienstag, 24.
