I think you should keep the legacy functionality for AND and OR and use something else for Boolean short-circuiting versions of AND and OR (like AndAlso and OrElse). Would be nice to see this implemented in QBJS.
I'll definitely look into this further. The other wrinkle that makes it interesting to support is the fact that we are essentially mapping a strongly typed language onto a weakly typed one, because of this sometimes the results of bitwise operations can be... unexpected.
Interesting that you are looking at adding logical operators for QB64. This is something that bit me several times a few years back when I was getting back into QB until I remembered there was no short-circuiting. Is this planned for inclusion in the next QBPE release or still in the review phase?
