I don't care until they stop pretending Unicode doesn't exist.
- usrnm 6mo agoWhat are you talking about, there is actually too much unicode awareness in C++. Unicode is not the same thing as utf-8. And, frankly, no language does it right, I'm not even sure "right" exists with Unicode
- leni536 6mo agoToo much unicode in standard C++? Where?
- Blackthorn 6mo agoc++20's u8strings took a giant steaming dump on a number of existing projects, to the point that compiler flags had to be introduced to disable the feature just so c++20 would work with existing codebases. Granted that's utf-8 (not the same thing as unicode, as mentioned) but it's there.
- leni536 6mo agoAnd yet, unicode support is still abysmal throughout the standard library. I don't disagree though.
- kccqzy 6mo agoThings like char32_t, std::u32string for storing UTF-32 characters.
- porise 6mo agoAnd yet, none of them work with std::regex etc.
