If you ask most programmer, ~ is definitely not a bitwise-NOT operation.

It's the bitwise-NOT operator in C, java, and python just off the top of my head, I think most people are familiar with it

In Go we use ^ for bitwise-NOT.

Surely that is xor? Ah I looked it up and it is xor, but unary ^ is NOT. Interesting overloading.
