| 2026-02-25 14:36:20 +0100 | <probie> | I think other representations make it a headache if you're not willing to specify what a `Char` actually is |

| 2026-02-25 14:17:14 +0100 | <dminuoso> | Im not entirely sure all excuses are good at the end. |
| 2026-02-25 14:15:25 +0100 | <chromoblob> | yes, i got it |
| 2026-02-25 14:14:46 +0100 | <dminuoso> | chromoblob: Also, regarding your initial question: GHC compiles to native machine code ultimately, and we compile into object files that get turned into separate object files that are later together, but you dont even know the access pattern ahead of time. |

| 2026-02-25 14:08:48 +0100 | <merijn> | converting Text to String is pretty efficient anyway |
| 2026-02-25 14:08:27 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <magic_rb> yeah Text ftw |

| 2026-02-25 13:55:05 +0100 | <__monty__> | That's the thing, it'd be slower for most of the code written to use String. |
| 2026-02-25 13:54:15 +0100 | <chromoblob> | speed and memory is "nicer" to me than "niceness" |
| 2026-02-25 13:53:27 +0100 | <__monty__> | So that leaves having a "buffer" instead of a list. And that just doesn't play as nice with functional idioms. |
| 2026-02-25 13:52:37 +0100 | <__monty__> | chromoblob: Char is analogous to UTF-32 already, no? |

| 2026-02-25 13:42:42 +0100 | <merijn> | That's the reason why Haskell has like 5-8 string types (depending how you count :p) |
| 2026-02-25 13:42:11 +0100 | <merijn> | chromoblob: Basically automatically deciding optimal layout is hard, if not impossible |
| 2026-02-25 13:42:08 +0100 | <chromoblob> | well, the source code would be portable... |

| 2026-02-25 13:40:48 +0100 | <chromoblob> | could use UTF-32 or "UTF-24" |
