@peter-jerry-ye Hi, I haven't been following moonbit's evolution closely, but I've been paying attention to the release notes from time to time. The last time I received a similar change, to_uint was a method that was replaced by reinterpret_as_uint and marked as obsolete¹. However, the change you proposed is the complete opposite, which I don't understand. Could please you elaborate on this?

Hi It’s due to API change. If I recall correctly, String used to return Int for index access. At that time Int::to_uint was changed to Int::reinterpret_as_uint. But later, String access returns UInt16 to make it clear that it’s char code, thus it should now be UInt16::to_uint. With that said, the PR was created long ago. Other things may have also changed. 在 2026年5月14日，12:07，Chawye Hsu ***@***.***> 写道：  @chawyehsu commented on this pull request.
