When I mentioned some of this, I was told "different data structures for different purposes", which sort of makes sense, but honestly if Haskell is a language where you have to sit down and choose a representation every time you want to build some text, I get a bit discouraged.
Don't C# and Java have StringBuilder classes (different to their regular String types) for this as well? Maybe imperative OO is also antithetical to efficient strings...
