I think the line endings support is going to be the most valuable addition, that's definitely bitten me when I used to use Windows.

  Parsing can be "fun", trying to figure out if text is ended with \n, \r, or both.

    Unix's \n, Windows' \r\n, and older Mac's \n\r. Deciding whether a line-end terminated when reading from a network is kinda hard...

      older macs are just \r not \n\r

        \r?\n regex?
        • bmn__ 8y ago
          No, you want \R, the generic Unicode linebreak sequence. http://pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2pattern.html#newlineseq http://pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2pattern.html#newlinese... http://p3rl.org/rebackslash#\R http://p3rl.org/rebackslash#\R

          So, you take a `\r` from the network. So, do you wait for a `\n` before returning the line?
          • rhencke 8y ago
            You wait to peek the next byte, or EOF, and then make the choice.
            • marcosdumay 8y ago
              Line protocols do not transmit EOF (and the problem is on each line anyway). And the next byte may only come after you write something on the socket.
