Not that C strings do not suck, but with pascal strings we could discuss in this thread how implicitly copying a slowly decreasing part of a 10mb string at every tokenizer iteration could miss a developer’s attention. It’s completely unrelated to C strings and is completely related to bytefucking by hand. Once you throw a task like “write a low-level edge-case riddled primitive value shuffling machine” into an usual middle level corporative production pipeline, you’re screwed by default.
