Re: Ruby FTW

"language encoding is a complicated subject."

I strongly disagree. It might be now, but hopefully in 10 years we will think somebody is randomly generating characters once we see the string "ISO 8859-1".

In my eyes there is no usage for any other encodings except the Unicode ones, except again there are should be some codes Unicode why so ever would decide to not include. Well, there's still a private area in the code table for own use though.

I hope then the Python ppl will say: F* me, but that was one bad decision 10+ years ago.
