So, about D vs C++ there... last night for reasons I forget I
tried replacing std::string with const char* in the C++
version, and then it got faster than D. I don't know why.
Very interested to hear why one is faster than the other.
At first I thought std::string was being copied instead of
being moved, but some static_asserts made me doubt that. Either
way, there's no good reason I can think of for C++ to magically
speed up for const char*. Hmm :(
The strings seem a little short, e.g. "foo1234foo" if I
understand correctly.
Could there be a performance hit in C++ due to small-string
optimization ? (Don't know if it is done at all, nor what the
threshold is)
