Now this is UX. Wonderful stuff.
I love the comparison of string length of the same UTF-8 string in four programming languages (only the last one is correct, by the way):
Python 3:
len(“🤦🏼♂️”)
5
JavaScript / Java / C#:
“🤦🏼♂️”.length
7
Rust:
println!(“{}”, “🤦🏼♂️”.len());
17
Swift:
print(“🤦🏼♂️”.count)
1
That depends on your definition of correct lmao. Rust explicitly counts utf-8 scalar values, because that’s the length of the raw bytes contained in the string. There are many times where that value is more useful than the grapheme count.
currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)
Who wants to tell the author that not everything was invented in the US? (And computers certainly weren’t)
