### What we like

Uses hardware acceleration for large string manipulation. Supports length, indexing, slicing, count, substring matching, and split. Works with strings and files. File supports memory maps without loading a copy into RAM and becomes immutable so can be shared across Python processes. Performance up to 12 GB/s vs native 14 MB/s.

### Tradeoffs

Bindings for C and Python only. Rust & JS planned.
