Re: Strings for operators

Have you tried profiling the interpreter ? To do so all you need to do 
is add a -pg flag to the CFLAGS in the makefiles in src/codex and 
src/moto and rebuild. Then you can go into the tests folder and run a 
test like

../bin/moto -X../mx util_vector.moto

and see where the bottlenecks are with

gprof ../bin/moto | less
