Describe what you are looking for

Good evening.

I was wondering if there are any plans for a C# binding of the library. If not, would be a problem if I contributed with an implementation?

Can you contribute to the implementation?

Hi @GabrielMarquezMatte! Thanks for the request. I don't have much experience with C# and wasn't planning to support it in StringZilla in the near term. We can start with a third-party implementation, and later merge it upstream if it gets sufficient interest 🤗

Thanks for the answer @ashvardanian!

Ok, so I found out that the dotnet runtime already does vectorization of span operations, consequently of strings too. So I think an implementation of stringzilla for c# would be counterproductive
