I hate FFP much more, VIPPER is fine in my book, but then again I also like the tdavis shitposting and FrozenVoid code pieces so...

Unicode support is overrated, ASCII and learning English is what the world needs, unicode is forcing unelegant and bloated design for every app. String functions for ASCII are simple,fast and clear.

You wish.

All right, let's see you teach the Russians in how to read English.

Go Figure!
Of all the languages I played around with for this talk, Go was hands down the easiest — and possibly the most pleasurable — to use UTF‐8 with.
The guys that invented Go, invented UTF-8. go figure. IHBT.

The next big language is likely to be Chinese.

Unicode is pretty messy, sort of like democracy. You can't please everyone optimally by doing everything they want.

>>27
A huge number of them already know English.

Chinese is badly adapted for computing.

Unicode does have some stupid issues such as latin ligatures being left as an exercise to the renderer1 but it's still the Least Wrong Thing.
What I'm more worried about is programmers choosing inappropriate encodings. Too often are ASCII text encoded as UCS-2 or CJK text encoded as UTF-8. Worse, some just pretend that code points over 65535 don't exist!

How about everyone just learns English? Why does the world need more than one language?

English uses dozens of characters that are outside of ASCII.
