I'm not sure what I would want them to be like for this language, but I'd definitely want something.
- incrudible 6y agoIt isn't made especially clear on the linked page, but Wuffs is a language to write parsers with. It's not a "general purpose" language, though it might find use in other domains. If you've written a parser, you will have noticed that the built-in string types of other languages are counter-productive. You really want to work with plain ranges over bytes, and Wuffs offers that to you.
