Python sucks at unicode, maybe they used python, not sure though.
- damncabbage 15y agoIt's "Node, Backbone, CoffeeScript and MongoDB". (From the horse's mouth: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2994009 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2994009 )
- uriel 15y agoOff topic: Proper, consistent and through UTF-8 support is one of the various reasons I'm starting to prefer Go to Pytho. It is sad that Python 3 didn't take the opportunity to properly fix this.
- beagle3 15y agoI thought Python3 sort-of did fix it, by forcing strings to be (abstractly) unicode and force you to explicit convert them to bytes with whichever codec you want (e.g. utf-8) when you need to. What are you missing?
- Pewpewarrows 15y agoErr... what? It's easier to shoot yourself in the foot, sure. But I haven't had unicode issues since I learned how to handle things properly years ago, when I was first getting into development.
