I can't unsee that VSCode places checkboxes not next to the label, but rather the description below. That's weird

I found out that it wasn't my parser which blew up the stack. It was the string builder which pretty-prints the JSON. Isn't that the thing designed to lower resource usage?

Seems the real problem is passing around and accessing a string's backing storage.

This crashes:

val t = "null"

fun iter(b : bytes)
  trace(b.string.show)
  iter(b)

pub fun main()
  iter(t.bytes)

This runs:

val t = "null"

fun iter(b : bytes)
  trace(t.bytes.string.show)
  iter(b)

pub fun main()
  iter(t.bytes)

It's super baffling because a byte slice is just a cursor over bytes, and I don't see any mistakes. github.com/koka-lang/koka/pull/384/files#diff-e0e03146bd1172ddffe490fde15787b2e00d2072cad832122a2c2094363b336b

Welp, no byte-wise JSON parsing for me because the (not-yet-merged, tbf) byte slice API causes a segfault after reading the first two.

@solidsanek This reminds me of Vinny's recent segment where he showed movie trailers and 1. there were so many about talking dogs by the same makers, holy shit, and 2. somehow they always had high ratings? I guess people just love talking animals

@ziphi I'll accept the risk of unlabeled potion shenanigans as long as there's a chance I'd like the outcome
