Note that chr and ord in Python only work for ASCII characters, so I guess you are only interested in ASCII data? In that case, I would do:
xorstrings(s::String, t::String) = String(s.data $ t.data) (requires Julia 0.5). You will have to think carefully about whether you want to handle non-ASCII Unicode strings and what you want to do in that case. (The above code will hande non-ASCII data by xor-ing their UTF-8 representations. It's not clear whether this is what you want.)
