ffi-bitfield
I'm working on a bioinformatics-related binding called ruby-htslib. htslib makes heavy use of bit fields throughout the library, so supporting bit fields is inevitable.

where to start?
Yeah the D programming language, https://dlang.org/ one of my favorite languages to program in. It's unfortunately not used a lot in bioinformatics, and deserves more attention in my opinion. E.g. sambamba for working with sam/bam files is written in it (https://github.com/biod/sambamba) it's one of the most performant tools for working with NGS data because it uses async io and fibers.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ruby-htslib and sambamba you can also consider the following projects:
ffi - Ruby FFI
genozip - A modern compressor for genomic files (FASTQ, SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF, FASTA, GFF/GTF/GVF, 23andMe...), up to 5x better than gzip and faster too
cyvcf2 - cython + htslib == fast VCF and BCF processing
bam-filter - Use simple expressions to filter a BAM/CRAM file
ffi-bitfield - Bit field for Ruby-FFI
swirl - :cyclone: Learn R, in R.
hts.cr - HTSlib bindings for Crystal
dmd - dmd D Programming Language compiler
htslib - C library for high-throughput sequencing data formats
