* The exclamation point seems good enough for attributes. I copied that
for
Hamlet as well.
* If you're standardizing on UTF-8, why not support bytestrings? I'm
aware
that a user could shoot him/herself in the foot by passing in non-UTF8
data,
but I would imagine the performance gains would outweigh this. My recent
benchmarks on the BigTable benchmark[1] imply a huge performance gap
between
ByteStrings and other contenders. Wow, I find it rather surprising that String out-performs Text; any
idea why that is? I wonder if you're just using it wrong... Could be, I'd be very happy if that were the case. All of the benchmarks
are available on Github, and the bytestring[1], text[2] and string[3]
versions are all rather short. Michael
