Can you expand on bitfields? There’s crates that implement bitfield structs via macros so while not being baked into the language I’m not sure what in practice Rust isn’t able to do on that front.

Yeah, not sure what they're saying... I use bitfields in multiple of my rust projects using those macros.

		I'm not a rust or systems programmer but I think it meant that as an ABI or foreign function interface bitfields are not stable or not intuitive to use, as they can't be declared granularily enough.

		Across binary libraries ABI, regardless of static or dynamically linked?
