Summary
The story of Shan, a Kentucky boy, and the friendship he forms with a big Cottonmouth snake.
gollark: > strings prefixed by the length are bad because you cant take a subset of the string by just adding an offset to the pointer and have it be a valid stringWait, you can't really do that anyway with null-terminated ones if you want a subset of fixed length.
gollark: You shouldn't do that. That would possibly cause so many memory issues.
gollark: I mean, to be honest I somewhat agree, it introduces so many convoluted problems and if it wasn't for the fact that many people need Unicode to meaningfully type and such on computers I would probably not want it.
gollark: WHAT.
gollark: I mean, string length checking's `O(n)` time, isn't it?
