Yes, Kore don't use libsrt, although you could use it in your Kore user-modules (not all services are going to be trivial operations). And I agree, C strings is far from being a solved problem. In the case of libsrt strings, in addition to have embedded length (fast concatenation, search, etc.), it does support UTF-8 operations, include case conversion, without requiring OS support (i.e. without "locale", nor using custom hash tables, but in-code efficient hardwired character range selection), and most typical string operations. P.S. Before implementing libsrt strings I did a wide study of many string and generic C libraries, implementing the best from all, and adding things that were not still covered (I'll investigate the Kore string/buffer implementation, too): https://github.com/faragon/libsrt/blob/master/doc/references.md https://github.com/faragon/libsrt/blob/master/doc/references...
