Convert a ByteArray into a String

This functions fails if the underlying ByteArray isn’t UTF-8-encoded. In particular, you cannot convert arbitrary hash digests using this function.

For converting arbitrary ByteArrays, use bytearray.to_hex.

string.from_bytearray("foo") == @"foo"
string.from_bytearray(#"666f6f") == @"foo"
string.from_bytearray(some_hash) -> fail

Convert an Int to its String representation.

string.from_int(42) == @"42"

Combine two String together.

string.concat(left: @"Hello", right: @", World!") == @"Hello, World!"

Join a list of strings, separated by a given delimiter.

string.join([], @"+") == @""
string.join([@"a", @"b", @"c"], @",") == @"a,b,c"
