String is a linked list of UTF-32 codepoints, which is just as bad as it sounds. Haskell programmers usually use Text from the text package instead.
[ANN] GHCup-0.1.19.0 released
4 projects | /r/haskell | 13 Jan 2023

This is the first release that was executed via the new GitHub CI. Everything went smoothly, except for an unexpected packaging bug on windows due to text-2.0 linking against libstdc++ by default.
Limits of possible performance improvements of Haskell/GHC code?
3 projects | /r/haskell | 13 Nov 2022

In addition to what's mentioned, the "default" libraries people use are often not the best-performing ones. E.g. Data.Vector.Hashtables is often much faster than Data.HashMap.Strict (which again is typically faster than Data.Map). And we find performance papercuts in common libraries that may simply be due to not enough people optimising for speed.

Switch internal representation to UTF8 by Bodigrim · Pull Request #365 · haskell/text
2 projects | /r/haskell | 22 Aug 2021

Here is a representative patch for text: https://github.com/haskell/text/pull/365/commits/37a2157245457a287d638bbceb472fe93b71f224 Hopefully it clarifies why achieving C performance is problematic even if you have enough primitive operations.

u/snoyberg laments here that a consequence of Text using unpinned memory is that the FFI can't operate directly on it. However, there do appear to be some places where foreign imported functions are called on the underlying unpinned ByteArray# (see how Text.copy calls this).
