Ok

Python 3 isn't even utf-8. It uses fixed-width strings with characters that are 8, 16, or 32 bits wide depending on what's in them so lookup is always constant time.

You say that like it's something to be proud of.

If you're using ropes it doesn't matter whether you're encoding is fixed-width or not but if you aren't then you might be more concerned about lookup times then wide strings evicting things from the cache (hello PHP 6)
s(you're enc)(your enc)
>>55190823
there is no php6
ropes? evictions?
what the actual fuck are you on about, mate?
Perl works for me.
