I personally believe one of the biggest reasons for the popularity of managed code is GC. Manual memory management is pretty hard to get right, even the C++ stl offers reference counted pointers as a form of automatic memory management

Strings are one of the most difficult things to get right in any standard library. You can be like C and offer barebones support, but many developers will make mistakes. You can be like Java and offer much more complete support, but you can never quite satisfy everyone's use case and people complain. I personally would never have even thought to include functions like `kebabCased`, this is a very interesting take on a string library. Overall, good stuff.
