<p>Oh god why:<p>> String methods cover case conversion, trimming, searching, splitting, replacing, padding, classification, and parsing. .len() counts Unicode codepoints, not bytes; use .bytes().len() for raw byte length. Indexing with s[i] works in bytes; negative indices count from the end and out-of-bounds returns null. Several methods have aliases: .find() / .index_of(), .ltrim() / .trim_start(), etc.<p>Indexing uses bytes and len uses codepoints? Are you mad?<p>weirdUnicode[weirdUnicode.len()-1] <i>returns random char?</i><p>And a = "a"; a[1] is null??</p>

<p>Looks really cool. My main advice is: you must tell us why choose xs. It's cool but I saw no killer feature that would push me from go or python to it.<p>What does it do differently? What problem it solves that other languages don't?<p>Also, performance numbers. This looks highly complex and I worry that your C backend would underperform similar code in other languages. So let's us know.</p>

<p>Not my experience. AI takes a lot less time doing tasks than myself. My current issue is that 2 out of 3 they don't produce the code that I want, so I either have to reprompt or do it myself. And the solution is simple: just accept their way; I'm just not there yet.<p>In any case, on that one time that AI works perfectly, it saves me hours of coding. So the potential is there...</p>

<p>This title is misleading: yes, a bunch of users didn't liked it. But of course there's UI research and likely A/B testing showed github that this might be preferable to the majority of users.<p>Personally, I don't like it much. It sounds like leakage from AzDO design. Maybe a option to turn it off would be the best way out.<p>Disclaimer: I work for msft, although I've no connection to github, ado or any other such tool.</p>

<p>You're absolutely right. And the root cause is simple: the stock market / shareholders. The incentive is for quarterly returns, not long term. That's why CEOs look for that - that's the job they are assigned by shareholders and the board. For a shareholder what matter is the stock going up. Heck, you can make money even if it goes down, but you can't if it stands still.</p>
