Why are bitwise operators not allowed in tslint?

Question

We can't use bitwise operators in templates, but why are they not allowed by tslint within TypeScript code?

"no-bitwise": true,

Answer 1

Bitwise operators are often typos - for example bool1 & bool2 instead of bool1 && bool2. They also can be an indicator of overly clever code which decreases maintainability.
