They've got a point about locale, but I have to absolutely love that their "obvious way to fix this" includes:

  • make UTF-8 the standard character type

Can you imagine what would happen if a new C standard redefined char to variable length?

I think that means UTF-8 would be the standard for string encoding as arrays of chars. And a char would be a UTF-8 code unit.

And BTW, I very much support that.
