nothing about working with locales, or text in general, is basic. we were decades into working with digital computers before we moved past switchboards and LEDs. don't take for granted just how high of a perch upon the shoulders of giants you have. that's exactly how the mistakes in the blog post get made.
- high_na_euv 2y agoIve worked in various languages like C#, C and CPP and I know where Ive been fighting what kinds of problems. People always had some fancy reasoning about why things that should just work are not, but then a few years pass and things are improved. C++ is getting closer and closer to langs like C# in terms of making it harder to shot yourself, but still there is a huge room for improvement
