Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Immutable strings

Message-ID: <sympa.1404842907.21063.651@inria.fr> (raw)

My two cents:
To me it seems very strange to introduce a new string type and not make it
UTF-8 from start.
ocaml will be that last language that doesn't have standardize unicode
support. Even old languages like Erlang has gone the UTF-8 way, and that
includes program code.
Bytes and strings have nothing in common, but str.[4] is still relevant for
UTF-8 strings. The algorithm is slighly more complicated.
I converted a big ocaml program to F# and the immutable strings was the
smallest problem, since detected by the compiler.
