Interesting repo and seems useful as a teaching aid, the algorithms seem to be written with a focus on readability.

However, if you actually need to do any of these operations in production I would recommend finding an optimised and well tested implementation instead. This is especially important for the cryptographical algorithms! But even for something like counting set bits, modern x86-64 CPUs even have a built in instructions for that (POPCNT).
