Idiom #307 XOR encrypt/decrypt string

Create a function that XOR encrypts/decrypts a string

from itertools import cycle
def xor(data, key):
	return ''.join(chr(ord(x)^ord(y)) for x,y in zip(data, cycle(key)))
sysutils
encrypted := xorstring(key, original);
New implementation...

encrypted := xorstring(key, original);
sub xor_crypt {
    my ($b, $k) = @_;
    return $b ^ $k;
}

def xor_string(str, key)
  ords = key.chars.map(&:ord).cycle
  str.chars.zip(ords).inject(""){|res, (c,o)| res << (c.ord ^ o) }
end

    let mut b = key.iter().cycle();
    s.into_iter().map(|x| x ^ b.next().unwrap()).collect()
