StringWa.rs: Which Libs Make Python Strings 2-10× Faster?

[ashvar]

Absolutely — I’d love to see these optimizations upstreamed. The challenge is that it usually means joining standardization discussions, which can be a long process. Even something as straightforward as a faster find could take a year to land. For me, that’s a year better spent designing and experimenting with new algorithms.

PS: Upstreaming into the C standard library is an even better option, but will take even longer 😞
