Supporting "every single language, culture, format" *is" the task in the article. You can decide whether you want to do it or not, but that's a different question.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoBut who thinks that's simple? That's an insanely complex task.
- Gigachad 4y agoAt a high level the task may seem simple "Wrap the text when it reaches the end of the line". And if you only care about English, it actually is reasonably simple. The complexity is stuff you wouldn't even think about unless you had experience in the area.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoFair, to a point. But colordrops said "supporting every single language, culture, format". So by definition, it's more than English. And as soon as you start looking into non-English writing systems, you realize that it is very much not simple.
- mro_name 4y agoindeed, once a task includes 'every', it's never simple. Or 'never' :-)
