Slices

Limbo supports slicing on arbitrary array types, including strings, as strings are arrays of bytes.

Source

slices.b:19,22

This section shows slicing from the beginning of an array to the index up to before the variable n.

slices.b:24,25

This section shows slicing from the index 4 to the end of the array.

slices.b:27,28

This section shows several slicing operations. First c is created as the slice of str from index 2 through the index prior to the final index of str. The printout is then a string version of the slice of c from index 4 through the 7th index.
