gollark: The length is stored in either 1, 2 or 4 bytes at the end of a string. When you do stuff with a string, you go forward in it until the last 1/2/4 bytes' integer value and the length of the string are consistent.
gollark: It's really hard to compete with PHP, huh.
gollark: Idea: regexes but you can ONLY use advanced stuff like lookbehind; there's no access to basic features like + and *.
gollark: Maybe my length terminated strings could be integrated somehow.
gollark: See, for horror, you've got to consider data structures too. Like that PHP strlen thing.
