You'll always want to use it. The small string optimization will make it
compelling for all applications. -- Andrei
- Why is it dependent on the allocation strategy or on the type of the
data?
Not getting this.
- It seems to be a pessimization if I'm taking a lot of small slices.
I agree cases can be created in which straight arrays do sometimes
better. They are rare and far between - for strings, the small string
optimization is to live by.
- It is undesirable if I later want to reference-compare those slices.
Arrays will still be usable.
