in golang, strings are immutable. thus, if i want to modify a string in place, i'll need to cast or copy each element from the string to a similar but mutable data structure. this seems inefficient for simple command line programs that take input from stdin and access it through os.Args. can somebody please explain to me when a function should to return a string as opposed to, say a []byte? thanks
