/prog/ - Non-Lisp languages

Haskell is a language where strings are essentially garbage-collected

struct string {

     wchar_t *(*head)(void*);

     struct string *(*tail)(void*);

} *(*string)(void*);

and people are concerned with performance?
Actually it's more complicated than this because the functions are in CPS, strings are a boxed type so there's a tagged union to tell whether the character is a value or a thunk, anything could throw an exception, and there are probably more things I forgot about.
