Bigstringaf
The OCaml compiler has a bunch of intrinsics for Bigstrings, but they're not widely-known, sometimes misused, and programs that use Bigstrings are slower than they have to be. And even if a library got that part right and exposed the intrinsics properly, the compiler doesn't have any fast blits between Bigstrings and other string-like types.
So here they are. Go crazy.
Installation
Install the library and its dependencies via OPAM:
opam install bigstringaf
