(And Haskell, as discussed in innumerable prior conversations on this topic.) Should we start a julia-stringconcat mailing list? This topic generates a lot of heat, clearly, and has been derailing a number of otherwise interesting threads, and I would like to read the !stringconcatenation (or maybe !string_concatenation, or !strcat...I'm trying to bring this back around to the original subject...) parts. Not trying to pick on you specifically; I'd start a new thread but it would inevitably become another discussion on concatenation syntax. (This might be the Julia discussion corollary to the Second Law of Julia Type Dynamics I expressed way back in https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/524#issuecomment-4409760) Alright, got that off my chest. Feeling better now. Did Python have this much trouble when they introduced ''.join([...])?
