Subject: [Caml-list] Immutable strings
Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2014 21:18:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1404501528.4384.4.camel@e130> (raw)

Hi list,

I've just posted a blog article where I criticize the new concept of
immutable strings that will be available in OCaml 4.02 (as option):

http://blog.camlcity.org/blog/bytes1.html

In short my point is that it the new concept is not far reaching enough,
and will even have negative impact on the code quality when it is not
improved. I also present three ideas how to improve it.

Gerd
