Monoid homomorphisms for the win. I discussed a very similar approach for computing the length of the longest line in a "rope science" article[1], as well as unquoting strings[2]. In this case, it was very nice to see actual code, and Futhark looks like a good language. For the string unescaping, I used Nvidia's Thrust, which is a templated C++ library; generally pretty similar to the Futhark code, and generally similar results.
