I don’t think Haskell is a very good example to promote for string handling. Things are mostly strict and well behaved once they make it into the Haskell program but before then they either need to satisfy the program’s assumptions before being input or the program will be buggy/crash unless it is carefully written such that it’s assumptions are right.
- Aardappel 8y agoI didn't mention Haskell specifically for strings, but as a language that tends to be very precise about corner cases. That may not even be the best example, but I couldn't think of any better mainstream-ish language examples :)
