I’ve been programming since the age of 7; my first computer was the C64.

I believe most software should be free (and that good software is).

stringi begs for a major, more generic rewrite which would enable the delivery of a Python and Julia (amongst others) version too. If you have a few months’ time to spare, and the necessary skills (C++ etc.) feel free to contact me so that we can make it happen.
