@phink0 @wilshipley Good point. The BBC system I rewrote from ObjC to Java (WO5) also got significantly better. Had nothing to do with lang.

@mpweiher @phink0 It’s not so hard but also not so fast. Swift is VERY fast and efficient, because it knows the types.

@wilshipley @phink0 [fast] Is this something you expect or something you measured? My measurements to date almost exclusively show opposite.

@phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley The Foundation -hasPrefix: does an exact compare; maybe Swift stdlib one does a fancy Unicode compare.
Joe Groff ‏@jckarter May 29

@mjtsai @phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley Yeah. Some Unicode operations are also implemented naively and make unnecessary extra copies.
