Hi,<br><br><br>After working through a few Haskell tutorials, I&#39;ve come across numerous recommendations to use the Data.ByteString library rather than standard [Char], for reasons of &quot;performance&quot;.  I&#39;m having trouble swallowing this -- presumably the standard String is default for good reasons.  Nothing has answered this question: in what case is it better to use [Char]?  <br>
<br>Could anyone point me to a good resource showing the differences between how [Char] and ByteString are implemented, and giving good a heuristic for me to decide which is better in any one case?<br><br><br>Best,<br><br>
