Kind of an odd slam, given that Python (and most other widely used languages) predated Unicode.
In any case, I think the jury is still out on whether Unicode in the primary string type is a good idea.
- colejohnson66 7y agoDidn’t C# come out after Unicode (1990s vs 2000)? And they still didn’t implement it properly. Instead, they went with the horrible UCS-2 because it made interfacing with the Windows API easier (it uses wchar_t (16-bit) and UCS-2).
