Bytes data type

[emil14]

There should be bytes type to work with stuff like JSON

String solution

Just use string like javascript does

Problems

• Overhead: Go uses bytes and will be need for casting between bytes and string under the hood

[emil14]

New data type solution

Just add bytes as a wrapper around Go's []byte type

Problems

• New data type?
• bytes or []byte (no arr type yet)

[emil14]

why was it closed? anyway I think about adding byte (uint8) now

Performance Overhread

if we will use list<byte> instead of bytes (with Go's []byte under the hood), there will be huge overhead - it's a []Msg where each Msg is an interface, all this for each small uint8!
