| 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 13:43:03 +0100 | <chromoblob> | i mean, there are almost always very easy to decide optimizations |

| 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 13:41:41 +0100 | <merijn> | chromoblob: That's just Text? |
| 2026-02-25 13:40:48 +0100 | <chromoblob> | could use UTF-32 or "UTF-24" |

| 2026-02-25 13:40:11 +0100 | <chromoblob> | yeah, Unicode complicated |
| 2026-02-25 13:39:48 +0100 | <chromoblob> | well, no need to perfect things, but it'd be cool if Strings were stored as a UTF-8 buffer + a thunk for the rest of string |

| 2026-02-25 13:36:52 +0100 | <merijn> | String literals are compiled to dense byte blobs that get lazily converted into [Char] |
| 2026-02-25 13:36:38 +0100 | <merijn> | chromoblob: That said, string literals aren't actually even [Char] in compiled code |
| 2026-02-25 13:36:26 +0100 | <merijn> | chromoblob: Because "optimal" is a hard thing to define :p |
