Would love to hear what you think the complaints come from. They seem fine to me, and I have voiced plenty of criticism about the other parts of Rust. They work more or less how I expect—you have an array of bytes, which can either be a reference (&str) or owned / mutable / growable (String). The only unusual thing about Rust is that it validates that the bytes are UTF-8.
