gollark: That's probably one of the nice times when it won't be as bad, then.
gollark: Then you get the *fun* and *excitement* of dealing with buffer overflow issues.
gollark: If it was an actual char vector thingy, it would not be null terminated.
gollark: In sane languages, instead of being null-terminated, a string is basically a byte vector/array/whatever which has an actual length, reducing all the buffer overflow problems and making it so you can get lengths without iterating over the whole string.
gollark: Er, null termination.
