[Sorry for the OT]

I never claimed Perl was a systems programming language nor that 
it was efficient, just that their design looks more mature than 
ours.

Also I think you missed this part of the article:

"Of course, that’s all just for the default Str type. If you 
don’t want to work at a grapheme level, then you have several 
other string types to choose from: If you’re interested in 
working within a particular normalization, there’s the 
self-explanatory types of NFC, NFD, NFKC, and NFKD. If you just 
want to work with codepoints and not bother with normalization, 
there’s the Uni string type (which may be most appropriate in 
cases where you don’t want the NFC normalization that comes with 
normal Str, and keep text as-is). And if you want to work at the 
binary level, well, there’s always the Blob family of types :)."

We basically have "Uni" in D, no normalized nor grapheme level.
